'''Back to [[THE LOVINGNESS OF JESUS 2]]'''
----
<p><strong>Why are we so apt to be captivated by the <em>gewgaws</em> of the world</strong> — but because we are so faintly impressed with a real sense of the excellence of Jesus?<br />
<br />
&quot;Yes, <em>He is altogether lovely! </em>This is my Beloved — and this is my Friend!&quot; Song of Songs 5:16 <br />

(Editor's note: A gewgaw is defined as a showy trifle; a pretty thing of little worth; a toy; a bauble; a splendid plaything, etc.)
