Creating Intimacy with God
God does not meet you halfway. Instead, He is knocking at your door, waiting for you to simply open the door and invite Him into your heart. You have a choice to make. You can decide to give God only part of your heart, and He will accept that. However, you will have chosen to receive only part of the blessings God originally had in store for you. Should you choose to surrender your whole heart, His unfailing love, amazing grace, and unlimited mercy will pour forth. God will prepare you to enjoy all the richness and promise of a full and intimate relationship with Him

Just like any relationship, it takes time to develop intimacy with God.
Thankfully, God never gives up on us. Our lives are so busy and stressful that God often must separate us from the chaos we create and teach us to pay attention and hear His voice in the stillness of our hearts. This is what inspired my “God Chair.”
How to Create True Intimacy with God
- Find your “God Chair,” and set aside time every day to be alone with God.
- Pour out your heart to God in prayer. Tell Him your innermost secrets. Share your failures and success with Him.
- Be obedient as God prepares you to receive His blessings.
- Believe in His promises, and passionately pursue Him with all your heart.
- Be thankful.
Ask Yourself—What Do You Choose?
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
