The Morning God Kissed
My Wife by Jason Young |
My
wife, Stacy, and I had one of those
days. You know those days you get easily agitated with the other person
and
argue about stuff that really is unimportant. Yep, we had a day of it.
We
went to bed at about the same time,
and did so without talking. Shows you my level of spiritual leadership.
Not! It
is called being stubborn.
I
got up before her the next morning. I
showered, got dressed, grabbed my bag, and headed to the door.
Normally, I
gently touch her arm to let her know I am leaving. However, on this
morning I
was still thinking about the day before and did not even want to do
that. God
put a stop to it. As I walked past her, he said to me, "Go back and not
only gently touch her arm, but gently kiss her forehead." Honestly, I
did
not want to. Just keeping it real. I kissed her forehead and left.
A
few nights ago, Stacy got quiet and
told me something that was beautiful. She referenced the kiss from last
week,
and then told me about a conversation she recently had with God about
how that
particular day was full of blunders on her part. She felt down and
defeated,
struggling to receive forgiveness, not feeling loved, and a little
distant from
God.
It
was that next morning that God said
to gently kiss her forehead.
She
told me that I had never kissed her
like that. She said it was like a father kissing his daughter. She said
she
felt God kissing her and reminding her of his love and forgiveness.
Stacy
told me:
“You
were the physical tool
God used to show that he heard my prayer and loves me, and it happened
that way
because you chose to obey even when you didn’t feel like it.”
I
learned eight lessons:
