XoXo ...A Kiss... XoXo

A Kiss can be and mean many things can't it?

When we're little a kiss is a mother's and father's sign of love

and helping take the pain from the 'boo, boos' away.

A kiss wakes the Princess from her slumber.

When we go into middle school and high school a kiss can be a game. People play things like truth or dare or spin-the-bottle.

A kiss can be an innocent first kiss between young people who think or who are in love.

A kiss, as we grow older, can turn into something that is passionate or lustful.

A kiss is something a dad might do to his daughter's cheek before turning and giving the bride away to her husband. 

A kiss can show true love. A kiss seals the oath between a husband and wife.

A kiss can be a betrayal in kissing someone who you shouldn't be kissing.

A kiss was used, from a friend, to betray Christ.

Kisses are used to say hello, with one to each cheek

A kiss is used when saying goodbye to someone who is about to meet their Maker.

Think of how many things a kiss can mean: love, betrayal, "goodbyes", "hellos", lust, deceit, approval, a promise. I've never really thought about all the different things a 'kiss' can mean. .....

What does a kiss mean to you? Is it important to you? Do you kiss anyone generally? Is kissing relaxed and more casual to you, something you do just for fun? Or do you save it for only the ones you feel strongly about or love? Have you ever betrayed someone with a kiss? Maybe in kissing someone you shouldn't be kissing? Kissing has so many meanings behind it...  Kissing was the very thing that Judas used to betray Christ. It makes me think?

Kissing ... 

I want to make sure the reasons I kiss someone are the 'right' reasons. A kiss can fool us. A kiss can blur our judgment in thinking someone is something they're really not. I don't think the 'hello' and 'goodbye' and 'mommy/daddy' type kisses are the ones that need to be worried about at all. It's the relationship type kisses that can get us into trouble. Some people go around kissing anyone and everyone, so kissing isn't a 'big' deal anymore. But think about a kiss. It's what starts the, 'two becoming one'. How do the love scenes always start in a movie? With a kiss...   

People say kissing isn't a big deal, but it is. It's being vulnerable with someone. It's allowing them to become very close with you. It's, like I said, the start of the 'two becoming one process'. I'm not saying "don't kiss anyone" lol, I'm just saying maybe we should take it more seriously? And not start that process with just anyone and everyone, even if you're dating them. I know this is definitly easier said than actually done, lol. Because we do like feeling that closeness with someone we like and we do think kissing is fun, exciting, and feels good; But kissing leads to more, as we all know, and kissing opens up feelings to start or grow and we should guard our hearts like it says to in the Bible tons of times (Song of Solomon 2:7, 3:5, 8:4, just to name a few verses, lol). I've been definitly guilty of not guarding my own heart a few times. Kissing has definitly clouded my judgment before. I've been guilty of kissing when I probably shouldn't have. Believe me I am surely talking to myself, but I just wanted to share with you guys also, so that you can be maybe more inclined to guard your own hearts as well. Let's keep our hearts unbroken and save our hearts and the rest of our kisses for the person Christ will bring to us, in His timing and will.  :)

Lol ;)
