God pursues a love relationship with each one us. Knowing the name of God tells us something significant about Him, but How can we really get to know all about God and who He is? And how can we come to know Him on an intimate, personal basis? Knowing someone’s name is a good start, but getting to know the person behind the name takes time and effort. Now here’s the tough question: into which circle does God belong? Is God someone who you know little about or someone so close that sometimes it hard to tell where God stops and you begin? Where does God take residence in your life?Ĭan you really love someone if you don’t even know her or his name To truly love people you need to know them. These are the two extremes, but there are many circles in between. Those that know intimate secrets and thoughts that you have those are they in the inner circle. Then you have those who are really close, who know you sometimes better than you know yourself. You would discover that some people would be on the outer circle, those are they that you hardly see or even consider really having a relationship with them because they don’t really know anything about you or you about them. If we were to all sit here and write our relationships out on paper we would notice that most of us would arrange them in two groups. Take a moment and think about all the relationships in your life.
