The Lover’s Invitation

Last Sunday, it was #the second sermon on Song of Songs. Peter and his wife Daisy, senior pastor of our Taipei branch church happened to be in Hong Kong. C-Mo was prompted to invite them to perform their life testimony through songs and dances. Their love story and marriage largely matched the Song of Songs; the congregation was able to understand the setting of the Song of songs better. How amazing was God’s leading!

Thirty-nine years ago in Taiwan, Peter successfully wooed the beautiful Daisy. Yet soon afterwards she emigrated to the U.S. with her family. However, he was unwilling to pay the price to commit to the relationship out of inferiority, and he stopped all correspondence with her. Though still missing her, he took no action, letting the love go away. On the other hand, Daisy took him as her partner for life. Boldly she broke through all hurdles and married Peter back in Taiwan. She even took him back to the U.S. and settled there.

However, their marriage was neither sweet nor romantic. Daisy worked very hard to make ends meet, hoping that they would lead a comfortable life. However, Peter was overwhelmed by his self-centeredness. Gradually he picked more and more on her, even ignoring her. She was totally heartbroken when he had affairs.
