I want true intimacy. I want a full measure of love! I do. Really! I am not talking just about sex here either. I am talking about my heart. God’s heart and mine with a life lived loved.
Tonight I went to see Australia. OK, it’s not Braveheart or Gladiator but once you get past some of the bad acting, the 40 endings and it being like 18 hours long, it is really good. Lots of good themes, one of which is love. There is especially one moment that really spurred this thought on tonight. Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman’s characters share a kiss. Before they kiss they pause and breathe each other in before savoring the touch of lips first meeting. It is a very good kiss.
Scripture often likens one’s relationship to God as the husband and wife relationship. Usually we see this being referred to as the Bride and Bridegroom. For example Isaiah 62:5 says, “As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoices over thee.” You get the picture.
Now back to the kiss. For those of you having the privilege to have experienced what I am talking about in its purest form understand the feeling. The elation of love. Now, just for a moment allow yourself to think about that in reference to God. Think about the sharing of intimacy. The embrace of your lover. The warmth and boldness of love shared between what God put together in a marriage is like no other feeling save one. That one is the truest relationship. That being the intimacy, the true intimacy only experienced as you experience God’s heart’s love for you in a personal relationship.
I am really passionate about everyone realizing the depth and breadth of God’s love. Now, I do not pretend to understand it completely but I do know that God’s love is meant to be poured out on you. Beloved, many think over and over that we must serve God. But what He really desires is our hearts. He wants you to live a life of love. Think about Mark 1:11 which says: “And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’” Before Jesus really did anything he set out to do, the Father told Him that He was loved. Only those who live loved of God can truly experience a life of service. 
Boil it down friends. It’s about you and Him (or them) the Holy Trinity. It’s about a life of love. A life of the heart!
Beloved, let God love you. Let Him pour out the fullness of love on you and embrace Him as a lover embraces his desire. Quit trying so hard and invite Him into every aspect of your life. Once you are His, as Romans 8:35, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?” Nothing Beloved..
Go with God and be saturated in His love!
