According to rabbinical tradition, a kiss from God is a living word of prophecy. Have you ever had the experience of a verse from the Bible jumping off the page at you, and knowing that it was a word from God to you? If so, you’ve been kissed by the King.
God also shows us His love in other ways: a sunrise or sunset, beautiful flowers, a bird’s song, a friend, a newborn baby, a lovely song and whatever God has made happen to please you.
KISSES FROM THE KING
They come on wings,
when least expected,
Butterfly moments designed for me,
. . . glorious sunset, an answered prayer.
the joy of knowing that He is there.
And when I offer my heartfelt praise
He whispers to me this loving phrase . . .
. . . “IT’S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.”
Blessed kisses from the King,
I treasure them more than anything.

IF BIRDS COULD TALK
The robin on the lawn
was a handsome bird.
So self-assured.
With a characteristic hop,
he bent to grab an insect from the grass.
Then paused and stood erect,
a stately form in his formal best,
his dark tuxedo with the rust-colored vest.
This confident bird a message sent,
“You can see that I’m content.
God made me a robin;
I’m His design.
And a happier robin you’ll never find.”
“But you humans, I hear you grumble a lot,
always complaining about what you’re not.
Not satisfied with who you are,
forgetting you’re God’s crowning glory by far.
So hold your head high,
you’re His special creation,
with even a close “Father-child” relation.
And the fact that He loves you, what joy that should bring,
what daily contentment and worshiping.”
