Just to add, to yesterday's post the aspect I hinted at but glossed over, presence is just as vital in our relationship with God. In case you hadn't figured that out. Now we know that he always gives us his presence when we engage with him (and indeed it is in us and part us us constantly, if we choose to be attuned to it), but what kind of presence do we give him?
Do we truly come with unguarded and undistracted attention? How often? For how long? If the people our maker put around us value our presence, how much more does he himself yearn to dwell with us and in us, and us in him? Presence, I think, is the essence of true fellowship in all our relationships.
