Kissing is the most intimate of acts. To worship God, in one sense, is to engage in the most intimate act of love with our creator.
Some anthropologists believe that kissing arose from the need to chew food for each other (largely due to tooth decay) and that the partially chewed food was transferred from one person to the other. As gross as this sounds, this would certainly not be something you would be willing to do with just anyone…probably only your spouse.
In a way though, it is a kiss that transfers nourishment. So, worship also nourishes us. It is also our commitment to give to God all we are. We put everything we are into the love we express when we kiss God.
The Mission: Today, draw near to God in worship, in love, in joy, in the deepest of intimacy. Learn the secret of kissing God.
