Bill Scott said in his Book "Hell" that the level of our relationship with God will determine our relationship with our Heavenly Father. Time spent with Him in study and Prayer create the amount of His presence and favour we carry.
The reason why God wants an intimate relationship with you, it's not because He need it, it's because you need it. This world is too challenging for you not to have the backing of the Creator of the Universe watching your back.
Have you ever asked yourself why some Christians that you go to the same church, hear the same words and yet seem to be more graced and favoured than you? The reason is because they constantly develop a good relationship with God which bring both Grace and Favour in their lives.
Having a good relationship with God is more than you approaching Him with complains and coming with your own needs. It's a 'Love' relationship with your father, talking to Him in prayer and worship because you love Him.
I got more insight into this while reading 'God A Man Of Relationship' by Michael Rufus on Christmas day. I felt the Love of God while reading it... that I need to know Him more.
Rufus said "The Love of God never lets man stray from His presence; but 'Doubt' makes man unstable in the walk of righteousness. The love we have towards God is a product of our righteousness and our understanding of Him who died and rose again"
The Love of God is not what you hear, it is what has been there for you before you were born, it's what God had given you before Sin came into this world. Sin didn't bring about the Love of God, the Love of God has been before Sin.
The author also pointed out that "'Love' is not just mere words but the state and action of mind. Love is not just a mere confession but an action." Your relationship with God makes you experience the act of His Love.
One thing I love about "God a Man of Relationship" is the experience of God's Love over the life of the author, the relationship and his commitment to the things of God marvels me which shows in his writing.
