Getting intimate with God.

Establishing a foundational understanding of who God really is and how He wants us to approach and relate to Him helps us develop true intimacy with Him. Everybody has to come to their own decision about God, and through consistent quiet time, we can build a strong personal relationship with the Lord.

How we see God may be one of the most important decisions we’ll ever make. We piece together an idea of Him based on the prayers He didn’t answer, the tragedy He allowed (or caused), the opinions of our friends, and maybe a little bit of Scripture if we were taken to church. Never intending to, we create a patchwork picture of God that may have little resemblance to what God is actually like.
