In an older post about Intimacy I stated that there are many different forms of intimacy, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Last night at Bible Study Pastor Marvin said something important. He said he and Georgine have a level of intimacy they wouldn't have without knowing each other in and out. They spent time getting to know each other. That is the same kind of relationship we need with God. We need to form a high level of intimacy with God that surpasses every other relationship we have. A spiritual intimacy with God is the highest form of spiritual intimacy we can have.
We need to be closer to God on all aspects of life then we are with even the closest person in our life. We need to learn everything we can about God. We need to know him inside and out. We need to let him into our lives for all aspects of life, the good and the bad. Many people just want God around during certain points of life. Some want him when there are bad things, some want him only during the good. While some blame him for the bad and take credit for the good.
While we try to achieve a certain intimacy with the people in our lives we need to be focusing more on gaining a higher level of intimacy with God. Why would we want anything less?
