| How does Jesus link intimacy to him with obedience to him?" a "New" commandment? |
To be intimate with someone is to know them from the inside out. I am intimate with my husband, I have a blessed relationship. It isn't perfect and we do have our struggles, but the love and respect surpasses these times. I know what makes him smile and I know his plans for our family, what he desires and what he expects out of me. I love him very much for who he is and how he lifts me up. I want to obey him,not because I have to but because of the intimacy we share I want to. With this said, Jesus also desires this intimacy and it is through this deep relationship that we are drawn closer to his heart. As we come to know who he is, what he has done,who he says we are and who we are to become we are filled with love. He set us free! Intimacy and obedience go hand in hand. Because he loved us first we want and desire nothing more than to love him in return through our obedience. Forgive me Jesus, I have not always obeyed u, but I know that the relationship that u are building is everlasting. Thank you for your love and I believe as I continue to give u myself and surrender my all u are faithful to love me in all of my weaknesses. By: Sandra Salas Category: Invite Me to be Close to You |
