What does it truly mean to have an intimate relationship with King of Kings? Well, the whole Bible can explain that. But the definition of intimacy is to have a close, familiar, and affectionate or loving personal relationship with another person or group, having a close association with or detailed knowledge or deep understanding of a place, subject, or period of history. When I think of having an intimate relationship with Christ, the verse from Philippians comes to mind.
"For my determined purpose is that I many know Him. That I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and clearly, and that I many in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness, even to His death." Philippians 3:10
I read this verse over again and I could hear the Lord whisper this in my years. "Be acquainted with Me and know My ways. Know what is expected of you. I created you, so I know how you are and what you can adapt to. You were created to adapt to me, to be apart of me as I am apart of you. Know what you're truly seeking, and let it be Me alone.
I challenge you to get more acquainted with Christ, more open with Him, understanding who He is, growing in the knowledge and the wisdom He has for you. Just know that each day counts as a new refreshing chance to give Him all you got. I pray that this encouraged you.
