Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with total transparency:

“Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.”
(Song of Songs 2:2)

Talk like that has made people ill for ages, Jesus –

all but the person for whom it’s intended!

Certainly, it’s wonderful for the woman who hears it –

but it’s so unfair – even untrue…objectively.

If you picked the thousand most beautiful women in the world…
asked a hundred thousand men to vote on them

not one woman would win every vote –
as the one lily…that makes the rest look like thorns!

But that doesn’t mean Solomon lied when he said that to his wife!

He believed it to the bone.

It’s “lover-talk.”

Lovers have been carrying on like that with each other forever –

and meaning it.

There’s only One who fairly and objectively is the Lily

which by every measure of comparison
makes the rest of us look like thorns:

You.
