Praying and praising the names, qualities, and character of God. I have been doing just that for many years. When I think that God wants real intimacy with us. That He wants us to love Him with all of our hearts, souls, minds and might. How do we even know who God is? How do we as mortals find intimacy with a devine God? How do you know your best friend?
By their character, their names, and their qualities. It's a good start. Also, I may add by reading His Story over and over again. There is no graduation reading God's Word.
So, we'll start with the character of God:
God is Love
Ps 136:1-9
Romans 5:5-8
Romans 8:35-39
Eph 3: 16-19
1 John 3:1
1 John 4:7-10
Tell me what speaks to your spirit from among these verses?
