Intimacy with God and a life of holines

Intimacy with God

It was something that sparked me to think: What was worship? Was it just some slow songs, as in "Praise and Worship"?

God told me... No! It was a lifestyle. A life that chooses to please Him and honour Him!

It was not just a life that chooses His ways but also a life that chooses to know Him, to be initmate with God. In Matthew 7, verses 21-23. Jesus spoke to people who called Him Lord that He DID NOT KNOW them! They were people of lawlessness. What a shock these people must have felt? What harsh words!

Yet it is the very essence of christian living, not justone that is holy but one of intimacy with Him. How then to be intimate?

I offer you three points?

  1. Fear of the Lord: Not to be scare of Him but to revere Him. He is the Kig of the Universe! Imagine you were to meet Mr Lee Kwan Yee? How would you treat you?
  2. Humility: Humility also means a surrender to Him. To submit to His will and obey Him. Not partial obedience nor delayed obedience but absolute obedience! many cannot understand why. But what wrong is it to obey someone who knows best? The reason we cannot is we trust Him not to know best. Humility also means to depend on Him for everything and not our own abilities. Humility also means significance rests in Him for apart from Him, we are nothing as all abilities are given by God. We need not strive to proof to Him or anyone.
  3. Time: How can we be intimate to anyone without spending time? We need to proof we have love by giving our time. We cannot expect the other person to give in to us when we do not contribute our time.

Love needs time. Intimacy needs time. Intimacy is an action word. It needs us to make sacrifices...! We cannot just keep telling someone we love them but when they need our time or our help, we tell them we are busy? Come on! We would give time to the person we love regardless how little time we have, right?

Other than action, we need heart also. We cannot do it grudgingly...! Always telling the other person, we did these, we did that. I mean it should be reciprocal but I mean we do not keep counts of the times the other person inconvenienced us! Do it out of a loving heart!

As God reveals more, i will write more! Stay tuned!
