4:1-5 In chapter four, the male speaks to the Shulamite. He finds her to be beauty. God sees you as beautiful also. Your righteous acts and faithful relationship with Him are just part of the reason why He loves you so completely.
4:6-11 The male calls the woman his family, his spouse. When we are loyally committed to God, He is our spiritual husband. Our partner in eternal life.
4:12-15 Be a "garden enclosed", that is: loyal to God. For when we are loyal to God, no "serpents" can enter our life or heart. We have the provision and protection from God which enable us to live quite differently than the secular world. When we are loyal to God and His scripture, we become like a garden... lush with blessing and wisdom and the colorful joys of life. The Living Water flows through our garden.
4:16 Naturally, the Shulamite was excited to be reunited with her beloved, to be within his garden. A faithful child of God is also excited to be with God and within His glorious kingdom.
