"When you’re down and troubled.....And
you need some love and care.... and
nothing, nothing is going right, Close
your eyes and think of me....... and
soon I will be there.....to brighten up even your darkest night"
This song plays in my head as I listen to words
of Coach (what we call our Pastor, long story) in church. The sermon is entitled, Intimacy with Jesus
When you initially think of intimacy, you think
of sexual contact, you think of being bare and exposing yourself in your most
basic and natural form to another. When you think of the after affect of intimate
contact, you think of being at a level of comfort with another that allows you
to open up and share your most sacred thoughts, feelings, fears, wishes,
ambitions…..intimacy
It is so easy to demonstrate this act with
another person you have only known or had contact with for a few short years,
moments, hours in some cases…….but for some (myself included), it is difficult
to present themselves to the one being that:
Created
you, already knows and loves you inside out, loves you unconditionally, loves
you without restraint or complaint, without cause, to infinity….for always and
forever
But you won’t:………..Expose yourself in your
purest form, your basic self, show yourself vulnerable. You
won’t……share your thoughts, your fears, ambitions and dreams, to your protector, promise keeper, life fulfiller. To the one being who won’t…..tell anyone
else, blast you on facebook, snapchat or twitter, who in the midst of you
displaying your anger, won’t throw it all back at you
Yes THIS is a relationship worth nurturing,
worth preserving, worth spending time with, worth telling folks about, worth
working for, worth
gaining intimacy with…………..
*You just call, out my name ……and you know where
ever I am, I’ll come runnin to see you again, winter spring summer or fall, all
you have to do is call and I’ll be there…
You
Got a friend………
*Song
You got a friend from the album Tapestry was written by Carole King 1971
