Steven Curtis Chapman once jokingly sang about being in love or having the flu bug during his Great Adventure Concert Tour. Likewise, Psalm 85:10 describes 4 attributes, which when joined together develop chemistry. When love and faithfulness connect, its as if righteousness and peace kiss.
Daily emotions rise and fall, leaving behind periods of ecstasy and agony. While God’s love never fails, 1 Corinthians 13:8, human love is similar to Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus by a kiss. Matthew 26:48-49. The side effects of Genesis 3:17-19 has turned the love of many ice cold like Demas in 2 Timothy 4:10. On the outside there are signs of warmth, but internally the heart has been corrupted, Jeremiah 17:9.
Beside the fallen nature of mankind, Romans 3:23, there are traces of this spiritual element. Honest and truthful words are like a kiss on the lips, Proverbs 24:26. Fellowship with other believers brings out a kindred spirit, Acts 4:32-35. The theological virtues of charity, faith and hope, 1 Corinthians 13:13, make love possible. Finally, the cherry on the top is Colossians 3:13-14, making spiritual kisses a reality through the power of the Holy Spirit! On this Mother’s Day, be a vehicle of adoration, passing on the love of Jesus to all you encounter!
