Day 27: Kissed For Life
I REMEMBER
my first kiss with my hubby,
before he was my hubby.
Oh I knew that I wanted him to be hubby,
from the moment I laid eyes on him at our college,
so when I received my first kiss from him,
46 years ago today,
it is a day that is tattooed on my heart forever.
I remember the outfit I was wearing,
and I remember his Jackson Brown t-shirt
that he was wearing,
that I still have tucked away.
Why do I REMEMBER this day?
Because it was the beginning of a beautiful life,
as I fast forward to today,
for
my love for this man has never died.
It grows with each tick of the clock.
Am I getting all mushy today?
How can I not.
But could I have ever imagined that
GOD would KISS our lives with HIMSELF?
Could I have ever imagined that
GOD would KISS our lives with
our morning dates
filled with prayers and espresso?
Could I have ever imagined that
GOD would KISS our lives with
FORGIVENESS,
for all things that we may have done
when we didn't really KNOW HIM?
Could I have ever imagined that
GOD would KISS our lives with
HIS PEACE
that transcend all understanding,
when we don't understand?
Could I have ever imagined that
GOD would KISS our lives with a HOPE
that overwhelms DESPAIR?
Could I have ever imagined that
GOD would KISS our lives with
HIS JOY that is forever?
Could I have ever imagined that
GOD would KISS our lives?
What is THE KISS OF GOD?
Or should I ask WHO?
JESUS!
Think about it.
Does GOD have to KISS our lives?
Not really.
Does GOD have to KISS anyone's life?
Not really.
As we all fall so short
because of the sin nature
that KISSED our hearts
from the beginning of time,
because of Adam and Eve's apple party.
BUT GOD WANTS TO KISS EVERYONE'S LIFE
with A KISS that LASTS INTO FOREVER,
because
JESUS is our FOREVER.
GOD WAITS for the prodigal to return.
"So he got up and went to his FATHER.
But while he was still a long way off,
his FATHER saw him and was filled with compassion for him;
HE ran to his son, threw HIS arms around him and KISSED him"
(Luke 15:20).
So on this day of
REMEMBRANCE of
being KISSED for the first time by my man
that opened up my HEART to a LOVE
that I had never known,
it is really a day of
THANKSGIVING
for
THE KISS OF GOD
that OPENS up every
HEART
that
RECEIVES HIS SON.
Oh TO BE KISSED with an UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
that is FREE,
that does transcend all understanding,
No questions asked.
There is a KISS waiting for you.
Do you need one?
Or have you already RECEIVED THE KISS OF GOD,
yet need a REVIVAL in your heart?
CHALK TALK 101!
There is one waiting for you!
FREELY RECEIVE GOD'S KISS of JESUS,
and let HIM make today a
BEAUTIFUL DAY,
Because
"THAT'S MY KING"
