Intimacy With God

Oh to be known fully. Oh that the depths and chambers of my heart, thoughts, and emotions would be searched and known by another. There is a cry in all of us to be known and to be seen even more than just our outward appearance and the shallowness of everyday acquaintances. For it is on the inside that we are defined and it is in this place of inwardness that God’s description of us is formed. To describe the inward man is not an easy task. It is made up of chamber after chamber, longing after longing, passion after passion, and an endless pool of emotions and affections. One can not come close to bringing to perfection the blue print of our inward lives. But there is One that can. He not only has words to describe each of our unique inner qualities, but He has the ability like none other to reach into the depths of each of our hearts and know exactly what moves us, quiets us, and stirs us. Coming from this beautiful array of majestic and holy pleasures is the jealous love in which God draws each one of us into sweet communion with Him. It is when our hearts touch His that pleasure beyond any worldly experience occurs. Intimacy, being the greatest gift God has given, is available to any and all who open their hearts in holiness and hunger. Deep cries unto deep. The depths of our hearts, though we may not know it, yearn for something greater, something deeper, and something that will bring definition and identity to our lives and give us worth.
