Who is God to you? Is He just another acquaintance. Today God has me looking up the word acquaintance. Someone you have knowledge of but have no deep relationship with. It can be said to be a surface relationship. You know those types of relationships you encounter them every day on the job, in school, and it's sad to say....but you even have them in church. Acquaintances.
God does not desire to be just an acquaintance. He is desiring intimacy from us and in order to have intimacy with Him, we have to spend time with Him. There are many ways to define intimacy. However, in order to be truly intimate, there are some attributes that need to be present in the relationship.
Take time to deepen your relationship with God. How can you love someone that you do not know? The same holds true concerning trusting Him and being totally committed. If you never get the knowledge of who He is....you can never see His faithfulness and His commitment to you. He was so committed to you that He sent His Son to die for you.
The question is can you do the same? Can you sacrifice everything in order to have a deeper relationship with Him? Or are you happy just being His acquaintance?
