Or you can watch T.V. and not talk at all.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">It’s far too easy to hide what is truly going on in our lives with all this multi-media.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">God has called us to be intimate with Him and also with one another.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">Intimacy according to the dictionary is this:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b style="">1</b>. Belonging to or characterizing <u>one's deepest nature.</u></span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>2.</b> Marked by <u>very close association</u> or contact. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><b>3. M</b>arked by a warm friendship developing through <u>long association.<o:p></o:p></u></span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">I LOVE THIS!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">It’s spending time with the one you love and knowing every detail about them.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">What they love, how they think, and feel.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">Do you know what God loves, thinks and feel? </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">Do you know His heart and what moves Him?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">If you can’t say yes to this then maybe you need to shut everything down and spend time with Him. Just one on one intimate time with Him. He longs to talk with you and pour His </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" >heart </span><span style="font-size:130%;">into your heart. He wants you to know every intimate detail of His love and Mercy.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">Start today. There’s no time like the present to fall intimately in love with our Savior.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">Peace and Love,<o:p></o:p></span><br /></p><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=735107301490034590" target="_blank"><img src="http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj104/lgtoews/lisa.png" style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/735107301490034590-7903632606121985749?l=lisasmalley.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cherie Zackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17821733858913300788noreply@blogger.com1
