A sloppy wet kiss

" to see him more clearly, love him more dearly, follow him more nearly"
I want to see you Lord. I want my eyes to recognize you. In the storm, the dust, smoke, blur, and confusion. I want to see you in the fog. Hear you through the silence. Feel you in the stillness. Allow my eyes to be open to see your heart.
I want my greatest love story to be our story. To love you more than any earthly thing. To be called yours, to be desired by you, to encounter your grace, to be your beloved... I can only love you more deeply.
For you will never leave me nor forsake me. Your light shines on my darkest days, guiding me, leading me. Lovely in all directions. I am lost, and in need of your guidance. I can rest in the power of the unknown... Knowing you are the power in my life.

In the John Mark Mcmillan song "How He loves", there is this line that I believe describes the raw, pure, intimate desire God has for us.

"So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss"
There is something so intimate and divine that happens when a little bit of heaven meets earth. But just imagine the encounter of heaven meeting earth with a genuine, tender, passionate sloppy wet kiss. Whoa how he loves us.

If you have never heard the song, Stop reading and go listen to it now. There are many different versions of the song, but I encourage you to listen to the original... Many other artists change the phrase "sloppy wet kiss" to "unforeseen kiss" and for reasons I am not sure of. But I believe a sloppy wet kiss embodies the true affection and intimacy God desires with us. This song captures God's heart.

Lord thank you for loving me.
Here I am.
A broken human being, desiring to love and serve my savior
that is all the matters.

Hope my future and Hope for the World
