Kisses – Thomas Brooks

“Oh, that He would kiss me with the kisses of His mouth! For Your love is more delightful than wine.” Song 1:2

Not with a kiss but with the kisses of His mouth. A soul once kissed by Christ, can never have enough of the kisses of Christ; His lips drop myrrh and mercy. No kisses, compared to the kisses of Christ. The more any soul loves Christ, the more serious, studious, and industrious will that soul be, to have the love of Christ discovered, confirmed, witnessed, and sealed to it.

A soul once kissed by Christ, would gladly have . . .
her drop turned into an ocean;
her spark into a flame;
her penny into a pound;
her mite into a million.

A soul who truly loves Christ . . .
can never see enough,
nor ever taste enough,
nor ever feel enough,
nor ever enjoy enough
of the love of Christ. When once they have found His love to be better than wine, then nothing will satisfy them but the kisses of His mouth.

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it.” Eph. 3:19
