"The kiss is the communication of His intimate embrace of your soul that He delights in you—He wants you." - Dr. Brian Simmons

Dr. Brian Simmons, lead translator of The Passion Translation, joins Liz for a conversation about the passionate and profound love that the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus have for each one of us. This love is not just a concept or an idea; it is a tangible force that has the power to transform lives and bring true wholeness and healing. It is essential to experience the love of the Father in our lives—this is how we come to know our true value.

Sharing his personal journey of discovering the love of the Father and how it transformed his life, Dr. Brian emphasizes the need to pray for the heart to fully receive and know the depth of God’s love. Through his relationship with Jesus and his revelation of the Father’s love, he experienced a love so powerful that it overflowed into every area of his life. Dr. Brian explains that the kisses of God are a metaphor for His intimate embrace of our souls. Just as a kiss is a vulnerable and affectionate act, God’s kisses communicate His deep love and delight in us.

These kisses not only bring healing and satisfaction but also equip us for the battles of life. They empower us to face darkness, rejection, and trauma with the assurance of the Father’s love and acceptance. As we open our hearts to receive God’s love, we are equipped to face the challenges of life with confidence and joy. His love has the power to heal, restore, and empower us to live the life we were created to live. There is an invitation for you today to enter into a divine romance with our Creator, to be consumed by His all-encompassing love, and to become a radiant reflection of His love in the world.
