W@W WRAP - Week 136: TO BE CLOSE TO GOD…

A relationship is defined as: “The way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected or associated”. The ingredients for a strong relationship include fundamental building blocks like trust, respect, honesty, loyalty, patience and love. None of these are achieved without knowing each other – coming back to the time we spend together.

The most important relationship we have is with our Heavenly Father – this where our life and existence flow from. If we want to cultivate an intimate relationship with God, our hearts and flesh (our entire beings) need to cry out to be in His presence. How do we achieve being in God’s presence – seeking Him above all else?

Psalm 84:2 (NIV): “My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God”.
