Seeing Intimacy

Dear Eternal, Good, Living, Personal, Love

You are greater than all I can think of you.

You are infinite beyond my understanding of infinite.

I am much smaller than I think I am.

Yet, you have numbered the hairs on my head.

You even now dwell with me and listen to my voice and even my thoughts.

You are more intimate with me than any other person will ever be.

You are in me more than anyone else will ever be in me.

You are intimate with me and know me totally.

My deepest soul is naked before you.

You know me better than I know myself.

You embrace me in my brokenness.

You have suffered to embrace me.

Your suffering is also infinite.

Beyond words.

Beyond human comprehension.

We speak of it.

But we do not begin to understand it.

You know me not only as Creator but as Redeemer.

Not only as maker but as lover.

You have chosen to adopt me.

Help me to know you as much as a finite being can ever know you.

Help me to seek intimacy with you that reflects your seeking intimacy with me.

Forgive me because my desire for you is so small, help me to grow in this desire.

Be patient with me and remember that I am so small and sinful.

Help me grow in my love of you and your righteousness.

Help us to grow.

Open my eyes to your presence with me this day. Open my soul to know you dwell in me today. Make me aware of my need of you and that without you I can do nothing.

Lord have mercy on me and help me grow in your grace.

I ask everything based upon the mercy you have demonstrated in Jesus to me. Amen
