Most men don't seem to put intimate and God in the same sentence. Well, at least and not feel comfortable.
Intimate is when we let God see deep into our heart. No wonder we don't use God and intimate in the same sentence. We are uncomfortable allowing anyone to see our heart. Ironically God sees our heart anyway. So the problem is with me being honest with God. I have to chose to let God into my heart and be honest with Him in order to be intimate with God. I am getting better at it.
How about you?
God bless you.

To be truly intimate with my wife I must know her, trust her, love her and share with her everything in my and our lives. If I hold back anything, it causes hurt, mistrust and then less sharing from her. Likewise, if I hold back things in my life from God, it blocks the path to intimacy with God. He wants to share the deepest things of my life. He wants a personal relationship with me. I must choose to open up, confess my sin, tell Him I want Him to be a part of my life. He wants me to talk to Him any time, any where, about anything. By doing this, He can fulfill His promise to be closer than a brother.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the image of a personal God. I still mentally view God as a celestial being and not down here with me in my little world. Yet, I know He is with me. Father, help me to open up to you, to completely trust you and believe Your Word. I need You so much. Thank you for your promises.
