To be truly intimate with my wife I must know her, trust her, love her and share with her everything in my and our lives. If I hold back anything, it causes hurt, mistrust and then less sharing from her. Likewise, if I hold back things in my life from God, it blocks the path to intimacy with God. He wants to share the deepest things of my life. He wants a personal relationship with me. I must choose to open up, confess my sin, tell Him I want Him to be a part of my life. He wants me to talk to Him any time, any where, about anything. By doing this, He can fulfill His promise to be closer than a brother.
I struggle with the image of a personal God. I still mentally view God as a celestial being and not down here with me in my little world. Yet, I know He is with me. Father, help me to open up to you, to completely trust you and believe Your Word. I need You so much. Thank you for your promises.
