Intimacy is Jesus’ desire
We sat around and spoke about a lot of good things and also things that cause turmoil and argument for argument sake in religion. We slowly began to come undone and our focus left what we originally were talking about. Welcome to the sin of religion! Yeah you heard me right, its a sin to focus so much on the rules and regulations of the bible, instead of making the main deal the main deal, as my Pastor says it. You see if we simply remember that we are in a love affair with Jesus, it wouldn’t be so entirely hard for us not to sin. We have people in our lives that we love dearly and some of us are in love. Well we do whatever necessary to try and not hurt them because we love them. We tend to hide the bad things we do because it troubles most of us the disappointment they would feel and the wounds we may cause. Jesus asks the same of us with him, he desires an intimate relationship, one where we are connected by his love and covered by his grace. As we grow in Christ we come to realize that Jesus is simply the truth. We, as believers, focus way to much on the legalism of scripture then on the intimate relationship Christ calls for us to have with him. You see if we learn to focus on that relationship and let his love mold us or develop us, then He will take us to those next levels. God ultimately wants our cups to runneth over with his love, the only way to do that is by starting at the top. If we let him pour into us the overflow will then cover those we care about, but more so deepen our intimacy with Christ. Do not be fooled by the Liar!!! Jesus says he has set you free, so come some time with me!! Jesus wants all of you!!!
