Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house…. (Job 29:4).
The readers of the Pew know that one of my favorite phrases in the Bible is when God searches for Adam to take a walk in the evening breeze. Eden whether you believe it existed or not was an intimate place. There was no separation between God, Adam, Eve, and their environment. It was the perfect place for them to worship God and enjoy his blessings.
Most all of us have experienced their own version of paradise. For me it is a beach, walking at sunrise or sunset, strolling in and out of the water, in conversation with God or a close friend.
The intimacy I experience there, and what each of you must experience at your own version of paradise, is but a shadow of the intimacy that God wants to experience with each and every one of us.
