I would definitely use 'intimate' as a descriptor. My relationship with God is unique. It is unlike anyone else's. Because He has created me to be unique, we 'walk and talk' in a way that is intimate-known only to us. I tell Him things I would never share with another. He knows the deepest parts of my heart...He knows my inner thoughts, desires, cares, concerns, joys, and sorrows before I even recognize them! I feel safe with Him. To cuddle up in His arms is the ultimate source of the intimacy I so long for. The only other relationship on earth I would describe as intimate is the one with my husband. But I still cannot have the intimacy with my husband that I can with God. Having a relationship with God opens up so much more potential for deeper and deeper intimacy...and the intimacy can grow! It can deepen, widen. I can be safely intimate with God. I remember as a teenager when I learned to take off the masks that I was hiding behind and own up to my true colors, then I was able to grow deeper in this intimate love with the Lord. I love that I can be completely vulnerable with Him, and He will not push me away. So yes, one of the BEST things about my relationship with God is that it is intimate. Safe. Close. Holding nothing back. Loving. Honest. Real. Intimate.
