What are Hugs for?

A 'Hug' is a personal, intimate act. It reveals oneness and unity, of two becoming one. In a way, a 'Hug' is not just an outward display of affection, but also a celebration inside, a perfect union of the heart and mind. Nevertheless after knowing Christ, how do we express ourselves?How many believers hug with Godly reverence and fear? It's not a casual act. It is a genuine reaction or action which involves the spirit, soul and body. Like the Kiss, a Hug is meant for like minded people, between brothers or sisters in Christ. That does not mean you cannot hug a non believer who is hurting or needs love. Use Godly wisdom. God has given believers a sound mind and a heart of love. Jacob thought Esau would kill him after having taken his birthright. For a few years both brothers lived apart. Both had a change of heart. But when they finally met, Esau welcomed Jacob with tears, hugging and kissing him. What a victory! A beautiful restoration displayed in the form of a Hug.Jesus is always available for an embrace. He does not hesitate to love His own."On my last trip to my native, to meet my parents, I hugged my Dad tight - like he was a baby. I was filled with much love for him that moment, I thank God I expressed how I felt. My next trip was to see him off to be with the Heavenly Father. We hugged once again before he moved on to be with Jesus." - statement of a believer about his dad.You were created to be loved. You were created to love. Let love reign supreme in your life.
