If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant.
Job 36:11

We were made for intimacy. When we experience intimacy, we can take on whatever life throws at us. Without it, even our greatest accomplishments ring hollow. Where is the joy in success if we don’t have someone, we love to share it?

Intimate relationships are not easy. Many try to keep it surface for this reason. An “intimate relationship with God” may feel like one more obligation in an already-overwhelmed life. After all, intimacy is tricky enough to pull off with a flesh-and-blood person. How can we hope to have an intimate relationship with someone we can’t even see?

Intimacy isn’t built on grand, elaborate gestures. Rather, it’s made up of a thousand tiny, everyday moments. Every time we share an experience with someone, we build intimacy. God is always present. Intimacy with Him is possible every moment of our lives. He’s already here. We just have to show up and spend time with Him. When you need help, tell Him. When you are joyful, recognize His goodness behind the joy, and take time to praise Him. When you see beauty, recognize the hand that made it possible. Acknowledge His presence in your life and watch the intimacy grow.

Sow Anyhow!!!

May His favor be upon you for a thousand generations. On your children and their children and their children. May His presence go before you, and behind you, and beside you, all round you and within you; He is with you. In the morning, in the evening, when you come and when you go. In your weeping and rejoicing; He is for you.
