I have a confession. I really like chick flicks, movies in which Mr. Right meets Miss Right, they fall in love, experience a crisis that rips their relationship apart, then make up with a kiss. I like these movies because they speak to a place deep inside me that longs for romantic love. If it were, then a scriptural command to love romantically would be our greatest calling. In His love, we can find fulfillment that no human can provide. Take these steps to help you experience an intimate love relationship with God.
Never married and 40, she was tired of praying and waiting and waiting and waiting, but most of all she was convinced that her life was somehow less-than. I certainly identified with the sometimes heart-wrenching emotions of feeling like the only girl without a date to the prom. But the absence of abundant life?
The word life jumped off the page. I had to look up its meaning. The Greek word for life is zoe the original language and means:. The highest blessedness of the creature. Inside of me. Inside of you. In the spirit. In the soul. The highest blessing we can have this side of heaven.
Christ Himself. The first step to developing an intimate and fulfilling love relationship with God is to admit that the abundant life He promises will never be found in another person. But romantic love will never be able to trump an intimate love relationship with God. Some things with God are so personal , so intimate, that they cannot be described with words, they can only be felt with the heart.
This describes my relationship with Christ. He has comforted me as I have cried, directed me, taught me, rebuked me, guided me and loved me. There have been times when I have thought that my heart would burst with emotion for Him. Who could understand the depth of my relationship with Him but me and my Savior?
