Intimacy

I think intimacy is more than
an endearing human trait -- 

Intimacy is what we have when
defenses are down

Intimacy is a lack of fear, with
an abundance of trust

Intimacy is what we have when
we put God First

To discover, each of us, is already
Tops on His list….

Thanks dear Joe for this lovely reflection on intimacy. If we are intimate with God, everything will fall in line. intimacy is possible only when trust is there. Very meaningful and true.

beautiful words with which I agree. Seems as if intimacy with God is absent in so many folks' lives. Intimacy with God is grounding for me...thanks for these words; wishing you a splendid evening, Sara

Thank you, Sara; I cannot understand folks, when they say that God is complicated, and His reasoning and methods unknowable -- speaks very plainly and often to me. Go figure?
