Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. (Song of Songs 8:6-7)

Love is_

A seal over your heart: shared identity, honor, and fate.

Strong as death: never-ending, hard as iron, fierce.

Unyielding as the grave: severe, intense, stubborn.

Like a blazing fire: thunderbolt, lightening, consuming.

Unquenchable: cannot be put out, cannot be extinguished, persistent.

Unable to be washed away: engulfing, overwhelming, transforming.

Beyond cost, priceless, irreplaceable.
