Condition: Being in Love

Being in love is not a disease, lest you wonder why this “condition” is lumped with the others.  In fact, I still have this “affliction” for my wife even though we’ve been married a long time and I never want to be “cured” of it.  However, a book designed to cover as many aspects of sickness and healing as possible would not be complete without offering insight based on these verses:

Song of Solomon 2:5:
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

Song of Solomon 5:8:
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

Thus, we see that being in love with someone can actually have “symptoms” that might seem like you’re actually sick when you’re not.  You may just be “giddy” over someone.

You do not need to be “healed” of this condition unless you are married and the object of your affection isn’t your spouse!  In that case, you don’t need to be healed – you need to be like Job and make a covenant with your eyes not to gaze at some other woman (Job 31:1)!   If you are a rubbernecker or a pornographer, REPENT and meditate on this verse until it sinks in and you act on it.  You’ll be glad you did, and your spouse will be even gladder!
