How to achieve intimacy with God

"(13) And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."
                                                                                                          Jeremiah 29:11-14.  NKJV

It is time to become serious with God. Time is running out. He could return to this planet any day. Would you be ready? Jesus knows our make-up. He knows what we think, before we even think it. He knows our heart. He knows what makes us tick. He knows our thoughts to other people and He knows what we do when we are on our own, when no one else is around.

He knows all of this and yet, he adores us and can't get enough of us. Why? because He is totally sold out for us. We're on His mind 24/7. What about you? Is Jesus on your mind 24/7? Are you totally sold out for Him?

We become sold out for God when we become serious about Him. Verse 13 tells us, 'And you will seek Me  and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.' In other words, when we live for Jesus wholeheartedly. When He becomes the most important person in our lives. When we seek Him in this way, we will find Him and spend more intimate moments with Him than we have ever spent before. As we reach for this intimacy, note in verse 14, that His word tells us that he will bring us back from our captivity. Captivity for us today, may be some kind of bondage or persistent habit that we are involved with that we find difficult to give up. As we truly find God, he promises to free us from this captivity and take us home.

Heaven is our ultimate destination, but until we achieve this, it is time to turn our lives around and begin to really live for Him. This means, taking Him to the supermarket with us. He's interested in this. Try taking Him into the garden; to that football or rugby match, that musical concert or when you're playing the drums, guitar or any other instrument. He's great company when you're fixing things around the home and on a walk He flourishes. Speak out loud to Him, don't worry if people can hear you. Anyway, in this day and age of technology, people are speaking remotely on their mobile phones out in the open all the time. Whatever you do or wherever you go, remember, Jesus is totally interested. If you never thought this, then involve Him and you'll soon recognise this fact. There is no need to ever be alone again, because He wants to spend every moment with you. 

Seek Him wholeheartedly and you will find Him
