Intimacy Inventory

Intimacy has been said to really be "in to me see". When we truly allow people to see in to us and they allow us to see in to them we experience true intimacy. When we are intimate with our spouse we often times are unclothed. We aren't covering up anything, if you will. Trying to make a point here that we see both physically and spiritually or soulishly into the other person. We hold nothing back. Often times at the height of intimacy we become one. This is the kind of intimacy the Holy Spirit desires. The Holy Spirit desires to live inside of us. The Holy Spirit wants to know us and for us to know Him. Then He wants us to know the Father because He and the Father are one too, as well as with Jesus. This is the Trinity.

Intimacy takes time. It doesn't happen over night. Intimacy also cost. There is an investment that needs to be made to become intimate. In order for there to be intimacy there must be trust. We don't trust people we don't know. Many don't really trust God because they don't know Him, and in order to know God, we must know the Holy Spirit. So, how do we know the Holy Spirit? We ask Him to show Himself to us through the word of God, and through the voice of God. We spend time listening to both, and then hearing the Holy Spirits comments on what we have heard. We wait for the Holy Spirit to teach us what we don't know about what we have heard and read. The word of God tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us.

John 14:26 (NLT) "But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative--that is, the Holy Spirit--
he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you."

Action Step: If you are having difficulty in the area of intimacy ask the Holy Spirit for help. Ask the Holy Spirit to move into you in a deeper way, and to show you what you don't know about people, the word, your circumstances, and whatever area you feel alone or unsure of yourself in. God does not lie. God has sent His Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will do what the word of God says. Don't go through life guessing and wondering if you are truly one in the spirit, know for sure. Let Him look into you and see.
