What exactly is intimacy? Is it only when two people share a physical connection? Is it only when two persons share a common emotional frequency? Or is it only when two intellectually meet at a similar plane? Then how can I have my intimacy with my Lord and Saviour? I can't share a physical connection with Him 'cos He is not physically present... So does that mean that I am not having an intimate relationship with my Father? I don't think so... I can't say I share a common emotional frequency as my Lord, as I do not always feel as He would feel... So does that discounts me from this intimate relationship with my God? I am most definitely not in the same league as my Omnipotent God... He is all knowing, so how can there be a similar intellectual plane between us?
But I know for sure that my God is a God who desires intimacy with us... He wants us to draw closer to Him daily and nurture a relationship that is so intimate that only He and I can enter into... Each relationship God has with His children is different... Each is unique... And I want to have my own unique intimate relationship with my King... This relationship between Him and I is not built on a physical heat, emtional feelings, or mental connectedness. It is built on the eternal sacrificial love He has for me... This same relationship would then be reflected on the way I would interact with those around me... And of course the truest reflection of this relationship would be with the one that God Himself has anointed and created just for me... But right now, I just want to see my relationship with my King grow more intimate first... Because He is first and foremost the most essential presence of my whole existence... And because He first love me!
It is as simple as that... Intimacy, or rather TRUE intimacy is one that is built on a much stronger foundation that what the world has come to know of... It is built on absolute trust and total vulnerability... True intimacy is sharing life with someone at the deepest level; knowing someone completely, and being know completely in return... Yet there is always something else to discover about that person... I think until the day I can have true intimacy with God, I wouldn't be ready to spend my mortal days with someone else... Because God knows me best... He knows me inside-out, outside-in... My reason for living is in my relationship with Jesus Christ alone... Not based on the relationships I have with people that He has placed in my life... Only when there is an overflow of the intimacy I can experience with my Prince, would there be an experience of intimacy in the relationships that God has created in my life...
