TransformationGod became flesh so that we would have a perfect sacrifice for our sins and therefore be able to be restored in intimacy with our Father and Creator.However, intimacy with God and others is the one thing we struggle with most.Intimacy: close acquaintanceWe have thousands of teachings on marriage, family, finances, happiness and other life-enhancing qualities that represent millions of hours of people talking to us about how to get life right.Yet, we live in a country where marriages not only end much quicker in divorce but often in horrible abuse and even murder. Are families better off for the millions of hours of teaching? Do we feel wealthier and more prosperous even as there is more teaching on our 'right' to be happy and rich?Jesus as life-enhancer instead of Life Transformer; Jesus who teaches us to get all good worldly things instead of Jesus the Christ, the crucified One who's blood bought us.Jesus our 'home boy' and our 'friend' instead of bloodied sacrificial lamb to who we owe everything. Jesus the plastic surgeon; no need to get the heart checked just enlarge my breasts, flatten my stomach, and unwrinkled me.Intimacy within the marriage? Not according to statistics and the pain that is produced in the middle of God's plan for humanity. Intimacy with our children? Not according to statistics that say most parents don't even spend 15-minutes of quality face to face time each day with their children. Financially well off? Statistically in the world market one of the wealthiest bunch of people on the planet but our thoughts and emotions clamorously agree that we don't have enough of anything.Intimacy. Private conversations. Time together. Sharing thoughts and ideas. Bonding emotionally. Learning intellectually from each other. Love shared in actions. Love declared by how we live our lives.Intimacy with God. I think it would solve all our issues of life, of sin, of pain, of sickness, of hurt, and yes, even of death.Out of intimacy with God will flow the necessary heart to be a great father and husband in the midst of all adversity. A heart of satisfaction with life and finances will be born from time with God. Private conversations with God will change my mind and feed me eternal truths and the creative ideas for financial success will come as a natural process.Intimacy: the seed that produces the fruit of his Spirit that changes our lives.
