“…and lead me in the way everlasting~
~Psalm 139:9~

I could be totally wrong, but I don’t think that even in the Song of Songs is there any indication that the couple there shares a deep and rapturous soul connection. Happy, yes. Enamored, yes. But where does it show that these two souls are joined and that this results in them mysteriously knowing and understanding every little thing about each other?

The only place I see anything like this is Psalm 139, and this is not a couple in love. “O LORD, you have searched me and known me.” And then it goes on with all these things about how God knows everything about us. Where we are. What we’re thinking. What we are doing. How we were made.

Who else could know us like this? And why do I look to find it anywhere else? This comfort God gives is uniquely ours in the context of living in a world with heartache. In the afterlife, in the life to come, we will not need the comfort of God seeing our trials or knowing our thoughts or our whereabouts. There will be no more of me left to find. Only him.
