Intimacy has more to do with information (sensitive, secret, personal) than it has to do with physical contact
Contact is not the major path to anyone’s soul. If you have to compel information from anyone, you will never arrive at true intimacy with them.
You will always have to deal with friction and turbulence, information is like grease, it serves as a lubricant between people irrespective of the kind of relation, and it must be freely given not demanded.
Just like human relationships, you can also be intimate with God, and he definitely will not need to touch you physically.
You can spend time with him, share your deepest depths with him, and hear the secrets he would not just tell everyone.
You both can share your concerns, contemplations, plans, purposes, and intents
You stay with his word for so long, that he will never allow anything to happen without bringing it first to your notice
Soon, you will even be informed of his plans, concerns, and thoughts, he will consult you first to hear your opinion.
If there is no information; There’s no intimacy.
When there is intimacy, you don’t hide to protect, you pour out, vulnerability and self-preservation cannot coexist.
There is always going to be a price to pay or a risk to take
One price is a consequence of withholding information at the risk of losing intimacy and the other cost is an all-out expression, that will be a form of hope in the direction where intimacy is desired. You can never have both, you must choose one.
Along with Vulnerability comes the possibility of misunderstanding, but as intimacy grows in the presence of innocence, the chances of misunderstanding continue to decrease
Because many times, true love is found around vulnerability and they bring forth intimacy always.
