I’ve been lurking on Weekend Kindness for a while now and I’ve been impressed by the level of maturity and the desire to continue to mature in the articles and comments here. As a young wife, I struggle constantly with maintaining godly relationships with the Lord, my husband, and so many others. I’ve been blessed to have an insanely wise father (Dad’s been a pastor, Navy chaplain, marriage and grief councilor.) and a terriffic host of strong Christians to walk with me as I grow.

One of my foremost passions is helping people realize that God isn’t this imperonal diety, but a close friend. For some reason, I’ve always viewed Jesus as my fiancé - my groom, not the father-figure or king-figure that most people see. He’s the lover who wants an intimate relationship with me. I suppose, to me, behind the veil of the Holy of Holies lies more than an altar. It is my groom’s bedchamber.

I think seeing Jesus in this light helps me have a right relationship with others - it’s a different type of motivation to do so. When I’m bad God isn’t a disobeyed parent so much as a heartbroken lover. When I’m good God isn’t a proud parent so much as an elated husband.
