Michele --
Your post hits it right on the head. I spent years praying for an intimate relationship with God. I agree with Michael, too. Its a matter of listening and recognizing our Master's voice realizing that He wants an intimate relationship with me as well. Like the prodigal's father, our Father is running towards us to embrace us if we'll humble ourselves and let Him be our Father and ourselves His sons and daughters. Over the years I can see how He pursued me and how He pursues me even to this day. He's answered that prayer for an intimate relationship but He did it by changing me; bringing me to a point where I willingly surrender to Him each and every day.
Thanks for your post, Michele. And thanks to you too, Michael for starting this whole thread off.
I think that's a HUGE reason, Michele. What people need is a loving relationship with Jesus, not just more and more knowledge about him. Like you, I think listening and solitude, being in Christ's presence, are vital. So is serving, loving others, sharing our faith, etc. Reflecting/meditating on God's Word helps me tremendously, but I had to break out of the patterns of reading just for knowledge.
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up!
