Intimacy is not instant—it’s developed through pursuit.
Our relationship with the Father is meant to be constructive, obedient, and deeply intimate. As we surf the waves of life—through both roaring storms and moments of calm—His grace consistently surrounds us. His presence becomes our anchor, reminding us that even when the seas are rough, He remains steady.
Intimacy reveals truth. It reshapes how we see our Father and how we see ourselves. Through time spent in His Word and prayer, our perception shifts from distant reverence to close relationship. We no longer see God as unreachable—we see Him as near, personal, and constant.
The beauty of intimacy is that it grows through both joy and trial. The same God who walks with us in peace also teaches us in pain. He uses every season to strengthen the bond between Creator and creation.
We are blessed to know even a small portion of His intentions. Often, His deeper truths are concealed for our protection or preparation. He gives us what we need—when we’re ready to receive it. Without pursuit, we might miss it entirely.
These quiet revelations become sacred milestones in our walk with Him—each one an invitation to draw closer, to listen deeper, to love stronger.
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
— James 4:8
Intimacy is not about perfection; it’s about persistence. It’s about showing up daily, speaking with Him, listening for Him, and trusting that He’s near even when we can’t feel Him.
So today, take a step closer. Speak with your Father, not because you must—but because you can.
