"The Divine Kiss"
by Cindy Scofield
One day God was taking roll of all the precious souls who were eagerly awaiting
their assignments on earth. The angels were helping these innocents to organize
themselves and to prepare for the lifelong task at hand. Each of these precious
children had to be perfectly placed so that they could achieve their true life
tasks. A small group anxiously discussed where they thought they would end up.
One by one, they received their purposes and were sent down to where they were
needed. One was sent to a rich family and needed to use his resources to someday
help a person in need. Another was sent to a poor family and needed to use his
wellspring of happiness to cheer those around him. A little girl was sent to
give her parents hope in all the heartache they had endured. Finally, a little
boy was all that was left. Fearing that he did not have a place, he started
to cry. God asked, “What was wrong my precious one? Since we are in heaven,
your burden must be pretty great for you to shed tears.” The little boy
explained, “You have given so many children a chance to make a difference
in the lives of some special humans. Since I am still here, I fear that I will
not have the opportunity to know what it is to be human.” God said, “My
child, do not worry. You will have one of the biggest tasks of all. I wanted
to send you last so that I could spend some time helping you to understand your
true purpose. Your life as a human being will not have an easy start. Your little
form will not be perfect, and you will face many uphill battles in your life
because of your special conditions. I just want to send you with the knowledge
that I have specially chosen you because of your strength of character and your
stubbornness of will. I am confident that you will face these challenges head-on,
and I know that you will only serve to uplift Me and those around you. You are
a chosen one, and I will be right beside you the whole way.” The little
boy felt better, but then he began to feel that the burden was too great for
his small shoulders. God noticed the concern on that darling face and said,
“My child, do not worry over your physical burdens. I am sending you to
parents who will seek to make your life comfortable and happy. They are strong
people who doubt themselves but will quickly take comfort in your courage. As
a family, you will all learn from each other; and in turn, you will touch the
lives of everyone else you contact. Please do not worry; you and yours will
find plenty of strength in Me. I send you down with My kiss. Let the mark on
your head be a constant reminder of this conversation and the love that surrounds
you. I will be with you always.” The child arrived pristine to the open
arms of his intended parents. In a very short time, God’s promises came
true; and a few months later, God kissed that remarkable boy’s head. Since
that fateful kiss, this brave little man has given courage, strength, and hope
to all those who know his story; and he has only just begun. The angels in heaven
rejoice.
Habakkuk 3:19 “The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like
hinds feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.”
