Intimate With God

"And hope does not dissappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us."
Romans 5:5

Having an intimate relationship with God is the foundation of Christian life, Christianity is not a religion but a personal relationship with God, because God created human to be His partner, to communicate and having a personal relationship with human. God created us to pour His love to us completely.
We can have an intimate relationship with God through Holy Spirit, which mean that Holy Spirit can guide us to see/meet God. Therefore, we must open our heart and let Holy Spirit enter our heart and fill our life, and then the Holy Spirit will guide us "...into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come"(John 16:13). To accept the Holy Spirit into our heart, we must have a heart that is thirsty for His presence always, the more we thirst, the more He will fill us, "...be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart, always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ."(Ephesians 5:18-21).
If Holy Spirit filled someone's heart, all that is comes out of his heart is good thing and He will do every job that is good and necessarry. when we need healing, His presence will healed us, when we need joy and happiness, His presence will give joyfullness to us. Therefore let the Holy Spirit enters our heart and work in us.

-Holy spirit will stay in a faithfull heart-
