Intimacy Begins With Personal Relationship
“Intimacy begins with personal relationship. You can’t be emotionally intimate with someone you don’t know. The New Testament gives us a glimpse into the intimate relationship between the Father and the Son. Even after a full day of preaching, healing, casting out demons, dealing with hostile religious leaders, and hearing of the death of a loved one, Jesus couldn’t wait to head off by himself and spend the whole night talking with his Father (Matthew 14:23). He loved to be alone with his Dad.”
