Intimacy Was God’s Idea!

Now that I have your attention- you probably thought this was going to be a blog about sex between and husband and wife- right? Come on and admit it. When we hear the word intimacy that is what generally pops into one’s mind.

But I am talking about the intimacy that God wants to have with you!

I started a series called ‘Presence Driven.’ We are exploring James 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.

Intimacy with God began in the Garden when He created man. It says that he breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life. I don’t believe you can get much closer than that.

Anyone ever been taught CPR? Did you practice on the dummy? Have you ever done it on a real person? What did you do? You got up close and personal. You breathed a life saving breath into them.

God breathing into man was a demonstration of an intimacy we were to have with Him. Can you imagine Adam opening his eyes and looking straight into the eyes of God!

Another demonstration of God desiring intimacy was that He walked in the Garden with them. Up close and personal. His relationship was not from a distance.

How about your relationship with God? Do you keep Him at a distance or do you endeavor to draw close to God knowing that He promises to draw close to you?

Up close and personal!
