Intimacy

I just wanted to share some of this that I think everyone needs to hear, God does not desire activity, He desires Intimacy. So many Christians think that the more they do, the more they are being obedient to God. But we forget that the goal is the relationship and that obedience is the fruit of your life if you focus on the relationship. But most of the time pride gets in the way. But James 4:6 says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." We have to fall on our face and say, I cannot do this, no good thing dwells in me, I need you! And that is humility. This is something really neat that I got from Vance Pitman years ago.

We sin because we don't love God - we don't love God because we don't know God - we don't know God because we don't spend time with God - we don't spend time with God because we don't see the need - we don't see the need because of PRIDE.
James 4:6 God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
If we are humble then God gives us grace - with grace we see the need - once we see the need, we spend time with God - once we spend time with God we begin to know Him - once we get to know Him, we will love Him - if we love him OBEDIENCE naturally follows.

This is just something that I want you to think about.
