When you are assured and confident of one's love (whether a husband, wife, parent, child, or friend), you are much more likely to be transparent with that person. You are more willing to reveal your weaknesses and your strengths, your likes and dislikes, and who you truly are. Having a security in the love of another says that what I reveal about myself will not be used to destroy me, but will be used to help me grow—to build me up rather than to tear me down. That is why biblical love (sacrificial love that puts God first and others before ourselves) is so necessary in our homes and in the church. When it is absent all manner of suspicion and distrust are bred and fed. Likewise, it is foundational in the Christian life to understand and be assured of Christ's love for you, His elect bride.You will only be honest and transparent with Jesus and enjoy sweet communion with Him as you are assured of His everlasting and unending love for you—a love that has no boundaries and that is the same yesterday, today, and forever (regardless of the ups and downs in your life, the gains and losses, the struggles with sin, or the heartaches and disappointments that you face). For it was because of Christ's love for you that you were chosen from eternity, and that He endured the cross for you. That is why in this Love Song Jesus repeats this truth over and over again. When you not only hear that truth, but believe it, there will be nothing that you hide from Him and everything that you bring to Him. It will transform your time spent with Him from mere duty to pure joy and delight. That is the place of love and joy that Jesus desires for you, dear Christian.
