"Young Man"

"My dove is hiding behind the rocks, behind an outcrop on the cliff. Let me see your face; let me hear your voice. For your voice is pleasant, and your face is lovely." (S.O.S. 2:14 NLT)

  Not to rain on anyone's parade, but there are some that still believe this is the Young Woman here, and that she is still day dreaming about her king; that he sees her and then calls her out from hiding. It is very possible in a strange sort of way, as there could be a little intimidation present in the way she might feel; after all, he is the richest man in the world, and his fame is known throughout all the kingdoms of the world; so why would she not hide herself, after all, it's only a dream!
  Be that as it my, this is beyond mere relationships that are expressed among two people in love; this goes beyond the simple dream that is easily explained as such, that does not count as much. If there is any hope for the hopeless, or any chance for the faithless, then there must be more to this love than the what we are capable of bringing!
  I heard Pastor Jon share about this place in heaven, a place where there was an inner court and an outer court. I am pretty sure that I have shared on this before; but it has been several years ago, so forgive me if I do not give it any justice. The bottom line to his message was about the difference between those that serve the Lord, and those that serve themselves here on earth; that in heaven there is a inner court for those that served the Lord here, where they are serving the Lord in heaven; and the outer court, for those themselves here, and where they serve others in heaven.
  There is no real proof on this, at least none that is that explicit; but there is more to God's love and those that receive it, than just a single thin line of whatever whoever says about it. There are way too many examples of failure and outright rebellion in the lives of too many in the "Cloud of Witnesses" for there not to be room enough, in whatever God has built for all His children; including those that might have squandered their inheritance.
  By the way, in case you might come to some sort of a surprise: them showing off here, is God's opportunity to show them off in heaven. Just saying...

"Who are you to condemn someone else's servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord's help, they will stand and receive his approval." (Romans 14:4) NLT
