The gift of the Kiss!

November 11, 2015

I love the way Ann Voskamp puts it, as you unwrap the gift, it is but a kiss. Your story and my story and the story of the unborn begins with the simplicity of the kiss of love! In the beginning is when the story came about. It starts with a kiss from above. The Father of the whole universe knelt close and closer until His breath breathed upon our being and His life and love filled us warm and fully alive!

Our Father knows the greatest gift that our heart really needs and wants is the ultimate gift of love. To feel safe and secure within His arms of compassion.

Our masterpiece in life is really all about the story, the real story of Christ! If we take our focus off what is real and important, our focus becomes worthless instead of worthy. There was a story of a man who bought a painting at a yard sale. For a long time he thought is was worth very little and he hung it in his mud room where he took his shoes off every day. But years later he found that the painting he owned was worth millions. Do we sometimes look at our life in this way? We never come out of the mud room because we feel our life isn't worthy. God tells us we are worthy and our righteousness comes from our faith, even if it is a small as a mustard seed. We are His masterpiece. When He finished our composition, He looked and said it was good! He whispers to us "we are fearfully and wonderfully made." Mathew 10:30 and Luke 12:7 - Indeed every hair on your head is numbered! He knows you, He has given you the kiss of life! He is more than jealous for us! The Kiss of worthy and uniqueness and the breath of living is what he has given us. What greater gift, than the gift of His kiss! The breath of life and His grace of love and goodness! Yes, He saw us and said it was good!
