The Sluggish Saint & the Seeking Saviour

As we have progressed through this Song, we have seen how it speaks of the many different experiences that we have with Christ as His bride. When we left off at chapter 5, verse 1, Christ had been telling His bride how enraptured He was with her, praising her and enjoying her fruits as most precious to Him. In 4:9, He spoke of being ravished with her love. In 4:16, we saw how she was thrilled to have Him enjoying her and how she wanted her spices to flow out to Him for His enjoyment to which He responded that He was indeed already tasting of her fruit with great delight and sharing it with His friends. But in chapter 5 verse 2 (where we pick up today), we see that something has happened to her ardent affection.
