Intimacy with God

Being a Christian, I’m sure that some of you out there endured certain moments when we are lost and irretrievable from God. Intimacy with God holds great importance especially to a Christians’ life. One can find a million gibberish excuses not being able to spend time with our heavenly Father but somehow could not find a single reason to spare an extra minute just to stay connected to God.

We must be humble, for accepting Christ is the first step to build up an intimate relationship with God. The attitude of wanting to learn more and open up to our great Lord. This refers to times even when we encounter moments that we don’t trust Him or even loose hope in Him.

Building up a foundation in our life. If one has no solid foundation in his or her life, it is inevitable that they will not be able to stand strong and far. It is a necessary that to hold our belief and stand firm on our own ground, eventually you may realize that things begin to reverberate and rotate around us. Without a rigid foundation, one can reach no where. In order to do so, we must let the words of the Lord infuse into our lives.

The Bible mentioned that the words of God is sharper than a sword that can pierce through into the marrow. It is then words come alive and take over our life.

Our God is inexorable exceedingly, abundantly above all things. Ask yourself, are you holding the words of God? Ponder.

We begin by laying ourselves as the humble servant of our God, receiving and obeying his words. We then set a firm foundation and this is the time for us to grow! Even an unanimated tree inevitably obeys nature’s law and knows how to extend it’s branches and vines towards the sun; capturing and absorbing sunlight in order to grow. But we as humans, intermittently cannot find our own ‘sun’ – Vision. Thus, the importance of growth.

The Bible said that those without visions will parish. Without visions we have no dreams. The main problem is not being unable to have visions, but… dare not to have dreams.

God wants us to release potentials and bare good fruits, both spiritually and physically. A good tree will not bare bad fruits and vice versa. Of course a tree that bares the best fruit will never be chopped down. Take a tree as an example, we are who we are depending on the fruit we bare. Joy, peace, love, kindness, patience & self control.

In our archetypal life, we may experienced parasitism. Our acquaintances will either build us up or thrust us downwards. Doing things that are not important or things that may ‘seemed’ important which in reality waste our time are instance of parasites in our life. These indubitably are pioneers to all the gibberish excuses we give for not being able to spend time with God.

We will be disconnected from the branch if we are not walking consistently with the life of God. Likewise, we will not die straight but the process of death has already begun without our own consciousness. As time passed by, we may eventually fade. So, it is important to walk together with God.

John 15.5

“I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth me and in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit for without me ye can do nothing.”
