Seizing the Kairos! - Heaven-made Intimacy

Heaven-made Intimacy

Act 13:22

22 After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My [a]will.’

Someone once said that Intimacy can be spelled as “In-To-Me-See”. Being intimate with someone means letting that person to see the real you by opening your heart and be vulnerable. Risking your heart so that these precious others can truly know and understand who you are deep down.

If we look at the world these days, intimacy has become the “niche” market in technology. Software and Tech companies are in competition in creating the best apps to connect people through the internet and smartphones. Thus, apps and sites like Facebook, Path, Instagram, Twitter, etc, have been born and become extremely popular in terms of connecting ourselves to each others.  However, we have to understand as well, that being intimate through these channels have driven us away from personal touch and the ultimate joy in truly spending time in the presence of our friends and families.

Worse, we even start to see our relationship with God the way we connect with others through the internet.  We start to crave for people “acknowledgement” and “ likes”. We start to spend more time in thinking how people think about us, instead of how God think about us. We start to forget the ultimate joy in spending our time in His presence. Our hearts become dull and somewhat lonely because the spring of life is no longer flowing excessively from our hearts. God is yearning for a generation that He can call after His own heart!

It’s time to go back to the real intimacy. Spend more time with the Words and in His presence.  Letting God to “in-to-me-see” and let us “in-to-God-see”.

Seek for His Heart, His Longings, His Passion, and His Will. And, once again, you will experience the real intimacy, heaven-made.
