AFFECTION IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE EASILY CONSTRUED .................
There is a bit of a debate going on about whether or not a mother should kiss her adult children on the mouth. I can still see my Mother's mouth with it's black mole and long hairs demanding to be kissed on my comings and goings. I would always be left with wet saliva which I could smell all the way home. Yuck! I was repulsed at the situation I was stuck in and wanted a way out, knowing there would be drama and abuse if I wanted to break the shackles, and not kiss her on the lips. I tried all sorts of ways not to do it but she would hunt me down, I even tried to side swipe the lips and get the cheek, but she saw me coming and there was that mole and wet saliva waiting for me. I was about 32 yrs old when I told mum I didn't want to kiss her on the lips anymore.
I never had the same acceptance from her again, I would peck her on the cheek and she was forever angry. Funny how in life you have to be persecuted for things you don't do. I can remember the day before mum died, we were at the hospital because Dad told us she didn't have much time left. Mum had a stroke and didn't want to live like that, so she wouldn't eat. Mum had lots of little sayings and one of her special ones was "IF YOU DON'T EAT, YOU DON'T SHIT, IF YOU DON'T SHIT, YOU DIE." And that's exactly the way she died. That day in the hospital everyone had to kiss mum on the mouth before they left, she had white saliva in the corners of her mouth and beckoned for me, fortunately I was at the back and couldn't get through. I just pulled a yuck face and shook my head, which no-one saw. Mum couldn't talk anymore because of what she was doing, but she still had that violent temper and started thrashing around, it was a horrible experience. Early the next morning mum died.
WHO KNOWS WHY PEOPLE DEMAND SUCH THINGS OF OTHERS AND CALL IT AFFECTION.
At this stage I hadn't met Yahusha and was a devoted Christian. I found no solace in the religion but had found great comfort and joy in the Word, which was pulling me through behaviour into another direction. I didn't know which way but was so excited. Look at this Scripture from
1PETER 1:22 ........ "NOW THAT YOU HAVE CLEANSED YOUR LIVES IN OBEYING THE TRUTH THROUGH THE RUACH TO UNFEIGNED BROTHERLY LOVE, LOVE ONE ANOTHER FERVENTLY WITH A CLEAN HEART".
Our love must be cleansed and tested to be able to have real clean affection for our brothers. It should not only be something they can feel but also see in our behaviours.
WHAT THE WORLD CALLS AFFECTION IS A HOAX AND A DECEIT. AS TRUMPY WOULD SAY "FAKE LOVE". THIS ABOVE IS A FATHER AND DAUGHTER KISSING ON THE LIPS, AND SHE IS PREGNANT.
