God's wonderful design and plan for intimacy between
a husband and wife has been corrupted by the ways of the world - and the
enemy's hand is written all over the corruption! The strong desires that
emanate from the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh have become the
focus of what intimacy is supposed to look and act like. Intimacy has been
commoditized, marketed and made a function of self-satisfaction (the devil's
handiwork - taking something God has made beautiful and turning it into
something that becomes self focused).
It is has been transformed from its
originally created beauty and is being used as a source of power and control in
our world which has resulted in generating a negative effect on the human
condition.
God's design for intimacy is based upon trust,
admiration, closeness, mutual enjoyment - it is a true and unique component of unconditional
love that one has for one another - and the two shall become one flesh. I am my
beloved's and my beloved is mine…and God said it is good!
Song of Solomon 6:3 I am my beloved's and my beloved
is mine…
