If we think about growing in love we tend to think that what we have or want just gets larger and larger. That is not what the Bible teaches. The Song of Solomon uses the story of Solomon and his Shulammite bride, to illustrate how the love of a believer for his Lord and Savior grows and matures from first love, to personal love, to abiding love, to transforming love, to mature love. It is a story that illustrates the joy and blessing of an intimate relationship with Christ and how one leaves the bondage to self and becomes free to serve and follow the Lord.
When insulin was discovered in the early 1920s, even jaded professionals marveled at how it brought starved, sometimes comatose diabetics back to life.

Bliss's life-and-death saga illuminates one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of medicine.
