FOCUS

INTIMACY

Intimacy is at the heart of the Gospel today. The woman is being intimate with Jesus and Jesus responds not with rejection but with acceptance, forgiveness and love.

Jesus invites us all into an intimate relationship with him.

Come to him today with your sins, faults and imperfections and trust that he welcomes your openness and honesty. Jesus will respond to your openness to intimacy, with love and affection. Through Jesus we come to know and experience the Father’s boundless loving embrace.

Say yes to Jesus again today!
