Morning Thought: What is intimacy with God? Intimacy with God is oneness, closeness and communion with God. When you’re intimate with God, you share your life with him, and he shares his life with you. It’s friendship — a two-way relationship — he talks with you, and you talk with him. It’s this kind of intimate relationship that Jesus came to restore to us. Though every day has its troubles, intimacy with God makes your life a joy rather than a misery. Jesus said, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete (John 15:11, NIV).
