Intimacy is Taking-Action …

Romans 12:19-20 ~ Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."?

Abba Father good morning ~ When wronged. It just feels unnormal to forgive. To let-go of something painfully unsettling within our inter-most-core of beliefs; it will take strong determination. Forgiving goes far beyond the action of resentment. To live life at its very best we must be intentional within forgiving without lashing back. It doesn’t mean justifying behavior or forgetting pain. It means within this world of extreme brokenness lives a world breathing The Lord Our God’s powerful life-changing undeserved grace healing hurts, pains, and wrongs. Within this life of everlasting undeserved grace. We find strength to forgive, let-go, and move-on. It might not be easy. But it is do-able. Our Living God, Our Lord Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit is within every moment of life’s brokenness helping, motivating, and cheering us on-ward. It seems the ways of this world has been influenced to lash-out instantaneously, provocatively, and disruptively. Remember, satan has consumed many hearts, many minds, many souls. It feels overwhelming at times. It feels as if the ways of this world learned to respond without even thinking, reflecting, or realizing consequences. What has taught the ways of this world to step on others so freely, without hesitation. ?Ignoring feelings. Attempting to destroy everlasting living hope thriving abundantly within The Lord Our God? What is actively ripping apart families, friendships, relationships, our life? Something is missing within society. Our everyday way of life. How we interact with others. What is happening to our way of communicating? Expressing feelings, concerns, worries, fears, disappointments, and our love for one another. Where are we losing personal contact intended to draw our life intimately closer to one another? Handshakes, hugs, smiles, tears, laughter. Encounters radiating how we feel intentionally while engaging one another eye to eye. Intimacy is openness with compassion expressing feelings with all the fruit of the Spirit reflecting Our Living God. It’s as if the ways of this world will not recognize or even realize we have a Living God purposefully creating, uniquely designing, and intimately putting in motion this very day to taste the bountiful goodness of all of life. Desiring to bring lives together expressing intimacy while engaging one another with all the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Remember. Our Living God is actively loving all of life personally, unconditionally, intimately. Embracing our everyday life relentlessly from sunrise to sunset and throughout the night. No life will ever go untouched, uncared, or unloved. Agape love is actively engaging everyone. Our Living God sent his only son Our Lord Christ Jesus into this world of extreme brokenness. Teaching how to live a worthy life of intimacy of embracing and engaging real lives non-judgmentally. Lord Jesus taught how to encounter people within compassion. Reaching out to everyone. Loving non-judgmentally. Forgiving without resentment. Time and time again Christ Jesus reached out into the lonely, hurting, struggling, hopeless. Those living among our everyday way of life. Continuously extending sacrificial forgiveness instilling everlasting living hope into real people living real life feeling pushed aside, unrecognized, unclean, unworthy. Those who are lost within the ways of this world. Our Lord Christ Jesus is actively alive within this very day. Reaching out into this world of extreme brokenness. Transforming lives, families, friendships. Bringing real people together for an intimate purpose. Instilling living hope within all the fruit of the Spirit. Remember ~ Intimacy is taking-action.
