God wants intimate one-to-One time with each of us. He wants to be our closest Friend. Intimacy is tied to sharing secrets and all that concerns us which includes our hopes, our dreams, as well as our failures and seemingly unsolvable problems. Those who seek Him are rewarded with new insights, refreshment, peace, and new energy. Developing intimacy with God grows as a result of spending personal time with Him. Our intimacy grows over the years as we learn about God, His values and viewpoints. Intimacy also involves learning to enjoy the peace and closeness with God as well as strengthening in the inner and outer life with God.
