Meaning of soft: having a pleasing quality involving a subtle effect or contrast rather than a sharp definition

The word soft is in 40 occurrences in 12 translations 

In the Bible. 

What do you think of when you hear the word soft? I immediately think of a famous Shakespearean quote from one of the most romantic stories of its time. Romeo and Juliet... “But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon. “

When reading these words there is a gentleness, there is a subtle feeling, there is a faint whisper of love that speaks to our hearts. 

So what does this have to do with a Bible Word Study?  

It's Him... When we pursue Him you will find a soft gentleness... Far beyond any earthly gift, you will ever encounter. You will find emotions of love from the depths of your soul.  His grace will softly wrap you in His loving arms. He has the power to engulf all your senses. 

It’s Him. 

He wrote the book on Romance. He knows each of us so intimately. His words speak softly to our hearts. He whispers into our souls with a gentleness that will leave a sweet fragrance of love that will linger upon our skin. His Love will continue to call to our hearts until there are no other loves before Him. Only He has the power that will change life as we know it.  He truly is the lover of our soul.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

It’s Him, It’s always Him. 

“I will make you new inside. I will give you a new spirit. You will no longer turn away from me. I will make you want to do the things that give me pleasure.”Ezekiel 36:26 EASY
