Kiss me God!

Hey beloved [God], my soul is a raging volcano of love for you!

You’d better start kissing me, or else!

God

You are so amazing

You love us with the love of a passionate love

And all you ask

Is that we love you back

Perhaps our problem is we don’t really know how to love

Not very well

We are seekers

graspers

takers

We demand and complain

And expect

And seldom

Listen

And respect

And give

and it gets worse God

because we don't even know how to 

let 

you 

love 

us

We seldom even ask for what we need

Instead we send indirect clues

And hopes

And then resent it when

We do not get what we think we want….

you offer us unconditional acceptance

and we

doubt

we continue to wallow in

self deprecation 

and doubt

 you won't to comfort and heal

and we persist

in misery 

and woundedness

We are not very good lovers Lord

Of you

Or of those whom you have placed in our lives

Or of those you have simply 

put in our paths

Lord, teach us to love!
