It is when we choose to surrender completely to Him, that we find life in the intimacy of His love. When we allow Him to... He will pour out His unending, all consuming love on each one of us. In doing so, our hearts, our minds and our souls will truly be free to experience the intimacies of His love.
You see, His “Love always protects, never gives up, always trusts, never loses faith, always hopes, never doubts, and always endures with perseverance through every circumstance.”(1 Corinthians 13:7) It is this very same love that He desires so deeply to share with us, that we might "know" Him, and in turn share Him and His love with others.
When we truly "know" His love, and experience it for ourselves, we simply can't get enough, and we begin to desire more and more of Him daily. This is why over and over again throughout the scriptures, God reminds us, "you must love the Lord your God, with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.” (Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30 and Luke 10:27) For the Lord said “Do this and you will live”!(Luke 10:28)
It is when we seek after His love with "all" we have, that we draw close to Him and in His grace and mercy, have the privilege of "knowing" an intimate relationship with Him. It is though this relationship of pure, passionate and intimate love with Him; our hearts, our minds, and our souls become so consumed with Him, it is no longer possible to keep His love to ourselves. It is in that moment, we come to a place, were we are ready, willing and able to become His hands and feet; and walk a victorious, love driven life that pleases Him.
When we are touched by Christ Jesus’ passionate, unending, all consuming, intimate love; we not only find hope, acceptance, faith, rest, joy and peace, but also, an optimism, that paves the way to a greater and deeper level of blessing for us in Christ.
May each of us come to "know" that precious and intimate heart of Christ, and choose to give Him our hearts, minds and souls completely!
