Intimate love
Lord, again? Are You sending me yet another girl with a
broken heart? You know I am not the 'right' person for this, I do not feel
qualified at all. I did not have to go through all this myself, so I really
don't know how can I help her. But the Lord insisted. He never changes His mind
about His loved ones. So I spent almost the whole day with this beautiful girl,
we walked, we talked, we laughed, we ate and at the end we prayed together.
While praying I saw Jesus being soo close to this girl, watching her face intentionally for any sign of wish or desire, which He was determined to grant her immediately. This closeness and care really touched my heart, so I told her and we both ended up in tears. Lord, You did it again! Thinking I was serving someone, You served me so much more, You showed up in such a beautiful way..
Well, four days later on Sunday afternoon I received a phone call. This girl at the other end was almost screaming: ,,Judy, Judy! You will not believe what just happened!“ I had to calm her down a little bit so she could tell me her story. After our prayer she was thinking about what she could ask Jesus for. And then she realised, her desire for a long time was simply to lead someone to Christ, wanting to experience it one-to-one. So she asked Jesus to do this for her. And on Sunday afternoon, just as she was on her way back from the church, she started talking to two muslim guys. The older one, who was taking care of his younger disabled brother, gave his life to Jesus on the spot. She was so excited, it was easy! It helped her to move on, she felt so alive!
This is how close Jesus is to those who are brokenhearted. Beautiful, it almost made me jealous! He knows you, He is ready to give you the desires of your heart. I believe intimacy is best described as a life-long commitment. And, as Heidi Baker says, all fruit flows from intimacy. From this secret place in your heart where you meet God. Place, where actually your and God's secrets are being continously revealed. In this place you will be known and He will make Himself known to you. We were created for this relationship, through this covenant we become fully alive! So tell Him the desires of your heart and ask Him about His. You will be amazed!
