Mike Bickle emphasizes the importance of recognizing the cherishing heart of Jesus as He affirms the budding virtues within us, even after a season of discipline. Through the lens of Song of Solomon 4:1-8, Bickle illustrates how the Holy Spirit is actively working to restore the first commandment of loving God with all our heart, mind, and strength. He highlights that Jesus sees our sincere desires to obey Him and defines us by our longings rather than our struggles. This revelation encourages believers to respond to God's love and affirmation, leading to a deeper commitment to follow Him, even in challenging areas of obedience. Ultimately, Bickle calls for a shift in perspective, urging us to focus on how Jesus cherishes us, which empowers us to grow in our faith.
