Intimate Relationship

“…when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room of the one who conceived me.” Song of Songs 3:4 (NIV)

 

This passage of Scripture, in Song of Songs also known as Song of Solomon, points to the type of relationship Jesus Christ desires to share with you. 

It’s all well and good to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour but it’s certainly not the climax of your relationship with Him, it’s just the beginning. Choosing to receive Jesus into your heart is just the first step into the relationship. You now have to build your relationship by getting to know Jesus intimately. This is what He desires. 

Jesus desires that you get to know Him, learn everything about Him by seizing every opportunity to spend time in His presence.
Jesus is already passionate about you but He wants you to allow His love to penetrate deep into your heart. 

Jesus wants to have alone time with you, no distractions. Jesus wants you to yield to Him. Jesus wants you to demonstrate your love for Him by being obedient to Him (see 2 John 1:6). Do not let willful disobedience get in the way of your relationship with Jesus. Understand that disobedience will cause you to break fellowship with your Beloved Saviour. 

Let nothing disrupt your intimate relationship with your Beloved. Put Jesus first in your life! Include Jesus in everything you do and everywhere you go. Take hold of Jesus and never let Him go.

“…I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room of the one who conceived me” speaks of bringing Jesus into a most intimate place; that place of tender loving care, and warmth – the deepest area of intimacy in your life and of your being. Jesus’ desire is to have all of you. Jesus wants you to let Him in all the way.
