As we near Valentine’s Day, thought would share writings focusing on God’s love & human love with three writings: “Kisses from the King”, “Valentine Prayer – A Denim Love” (human love) , & “Our Father’s Love”.
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.

Valentine Prayer – A Denim Love
Give us a denim love
that’s tough enough to stand the strain
of everydays and still remain,
with warmth to melt our selfishness,
strong enough to bear financial stress,
A love that’s comfortable and brings
enjoyment in the little things,
True, genuine and honest to the core,
………..a denim love
that’s guaranteed to wear
and each year grow better
than before.
Amen

OUR FATHER’S LOVE
I placed “I love yous” in My Word
from Genesis to Jude.
I desired each soul upon My earth
know of its magnitude.
And then I acted out My love
. . . My love for sinful man –
One black Friday when MY Son
carried out the plan.
I let Him die upon the cross,
a sacrifice for sin,
That He could be THE WAY – the bridge
to bring My children in.
Oh, come to Him
Our love to know.
My Father-heart yearns for you so.
