Natural Hugs and Kisses to Supernatural Hugs and Kisses

 Our Grand-Babies

The biggest thrill of my life is when my three-year old grandson, Elias came running into my arms to welcome me with a big hug, Friday afternoon. “Grandma, he yelled… It’s a good thing I was sitting on the couch because we both fell backward as I felt the embrace…I was delighted and a little surprised…but thrilled beyond words…Abram, my son, helped me sit up, but Elias did not let go…in fact he stayed in my arms for quite some time…there is no greater love than the love between a grandchild and grandparent…except God’s love…

Then my granddaughter Lydia, being a little shy also welcomed me with a big smile and hug…she’s two and was a little more reserved but the love was just as thrilling.

Then there is Ezra, the nine month old. I held him and would say, “I’m gonna get your sugar” and nuzzled his neck with kisses on each side and he would respond by giving me a great big open mouth smile begging for more…

And of course my beautiful Granddaughter Esperanza, she’s sweet sixteen and all grown up, but her smile and hug was like winning the billion dollar lottery…and even that doesn’t compare…Love is the most valuable gift in the Universe…it is worth living for and dying for…and that brings me to this…

When we connect with Jesus through the Holy Spirit and welcome him with hugs and kisses, running and jumping into his arms he is thrilled beyond words and he loves us right back…If you’ve never experienced that before…let me just say you are missing out on the only thing that matters in this life…Nothing compares to his love, his kisses and his hugs…if you have experienced him than you know exactly what I’m talking about…when He touches you, you are healed in body mind and spirit…you are delivered from bondage and chains…your heart sings a new song and you dance as David danced without restraint or inhibitions…and it doesn’t’ matter who’s watching or not…It doesn’t matter is someone makes fun of you or mocks you…all that matters is that it’s you and Jesus…

He’s real…he is really, really real…if you want to know him…if you feel that tugging at your heart…run, don’t walk, jump into His arms and stay there until you are changed, transformed and let him Hug you and kiss you until a big smile covers your face and you know beyond a doubt you are totally and completely loved by Him…

He’s waiting…he has come to your house today…he’s sitting on your couch and he wants to show you how very much He loves you.

Song of Solomon 1:1-3 King James Version (KJV) The song of songs, which is Solomon’s. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine. Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
