An intimate relationship with the Lord is all about spiritual nakedness - an uncovered and complete openness to God. No spiritual 'makeup', no external 'polish' that masks the real you. When the Lord comes to reveal Himself to you in an intimate, precious encounter, the hidden you is revealed-raw, rough, and unfinished. And as the Beloved molds your spirit, preparing you for a closer relationship with Him, you will discover the secret place of intimacy. But this process will require great sacrifice and perseverance if you are to refuse admittance to the things of this world that would move you away from the Beloved.
