I've been thinking lately about the importance of cultivating intimacy with God- I think many of us tend to focus on learning about God and often times neglect the importance and the privelige of actually, truly, intimately knowing God. There is a book by A.W. Tozer on this topic called The Pursuit of God which I have found to be very helpful in thinking through this stuff. Here is a quote from the first chapter:
The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word. We have almost forgotten that God is a person and, as such, can be cultivated as any person can. It is inherent in personality to be able to know other personalities, but full knowledge of one personality by another cannot be achieved in one encounter. It is only after long and loving mental intercourse that the full possibilities of both can be realized.
What is keeping you from intimacy with God?
