Allow Jesus to kiss my wounds?

I found the article on God's Gaze when a friend posted a link on Facebook. You must read it! This is beautiful! To quote from the article,

My spiritual director once recommended that for my daily Examen, instead of trying to feel God’s presence I let God feel my presence. I imagined what it might look like from God’s perspective as God brought me into God’s mind, felt my presence, and gained awareness of what I was feeling that day. This loving gaze revealed to me God’s desire for prayer with me, that my feelings mattered, and that God not only wanted to know about my day but wanted to experience it with me. That is compassionate love.

It reminds me of my summer retreat in 2010 when my spiritual guide told me that in all those years I was kissing the wounds of Jesus in the crucifix everytime I venerate, so why don't I allow Jesus to kiss my wounds? It truly struck me and just like this one, 'God's Gaze', it is a beautiful perspective that leads to the healing of our wounded-ness. And it is helping me in my healing process. But even this also needs the work of grace, so do we continue to beg God to grant us the grace to be open to His gaze, that we truly welcome Him as He embrace us with great empathy, acceptance and love.
