There is a good reason why so many of the most famous love songs are about heartbreak. These songs resonate with many of us because they reflect our personal experience. Each of us can think of a time when we expressed our love to someone and ended up feeling rejected. Love can be risky and the pain of heartbreak can be intense. Sometimes the rejection we experience can paralyze us from taking the risk to trust another person with our heart. We end up holding others at arms-length because we don’t want to repeat the pain of our broken hearts.
As we begin our journey through Song of Songs we will be invited to take the risk to love. And we’ll be told that, while love is risky, requited love is worth the risk.
