A Kiss From God

"A letter represents something far more than a kiss ever could. It evidences thoughtfulness and the gift of time. While a kiss can prove tender, it must overcome the stigma of impulsiveness to truly display love. A letter, on the other hand, when written in the spirit of ardor and romance - even if it never mentions passion - strokes the heart deeper than any other form of physical touch. A kiss cannot be felt again and again from great distance; but a letter can be read and reread thousands of times. A kiss only familiarizes lips with the physical body of a lover. A letter familiarizes the heart, mind, and soul. Maybe that's why God chose to write us a letter."

~Eric Ludy, When Dreams Come True

Sometimes I wonder why God did not give us a more obvious display of His love, like a kiss. He gave us much better. Not only did He gave us a letter, to read about Him and His love, but He gave us the most precious gift; the life of His Son.
