KISSER'S IDENTITY

We do things with our bodies in order to give a tangible representation of our emotions. Like smiling. But a smile can mean so many different things and there are so many different kinds of smiles. The same smile you see on one person can mean something totally different if it is on another persons face, and somehow we know what the person means by knowing the person who is smiling and the situation that is surrounding them. The smiler's identity is key.

A kiss is the same way. The kisser's identity is very key in the interpretation of the emotion. My definition of a kiss is the giving of one's emotions in a tangible expression. But what emotion is the woman seeking in Song of Songs 1 verse 2 , when she says "Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth"? If her father or her brother came and said "I'll do it" and gave her a kiss, there would be an emptiness left in her, because she is seeking something that only HE can give her. She is seeking after HIS emotions in a tangible expression. She knows that if he will kiss her she will actually feel the emotions that she knows are true, that HIS love is better than wine and that it satisfies her completely. So when we are asking for HIS kiss we too are asking for something that is so real you can feel it, because we want to again experience His satisfying emotions that actually go down deep in our beings and fill us again, all from this one simple act.....the kiss of His word.
