I love to kiss!!!

The greek word for "worship" is "proskuneo", pronounced "pros-koo-neh-oh", and is actually derived from two words. The first word "pros", which means, "toward". This is where we get the word "prostrate" from. Some synonyms of this word is "bow down", "do obedience", "show reverence", "do homage", "adore". The second word is "kuneo", which means "to kiss". This is exactly what we do when we "worship" the Lord. We go toward Him to Kiss Him, and love on Him as we were created to do, in singing, dancing, clapping, spinning, playing music, and other creative expressions that the Lord has given us. We were created for companionship, just like a marraige. Worship is so powerful because our affections and emotions are involved with the very One who created everything. Intimacy is produced when these affections and emotions are added to our expression towards the King. This is why the world does not understand why we worship because the world does not know what true love and intimacy is, YET! The world has degraded the act of kissing and intimacy to sex. This word and expression goes beyond the feelings of the flesh. It is at a much higher level. Worship is a one dimensional act towards God. Not to angels, saints, shrines, relics, or religious personages. It is from you to the Lord. A one dimentinoal act with an eternal dimentional expression.
