You are known: Experiencing true togetherness with God

Deep within you is a strong desire, a drive to know and be known. You were created first to know God and be known by God and then after that, all your other relationships can find their proper place in life. The biggest reason millions — maybe you — are lonely today is that there is no togetherness in your life with God. Togetherness and intimate companionship comes from spending quality time with Him. This may sound like a foreign idea, but spending time with God is literally the number one way to live a life that overflows into love, joy and peace. A person who is living into togetherness with God will experience love, a deep companionship and communion with the one person who can fill them up, even causing them to overflow!

You can take the first step to experiencing togetherness with Jesus right now. As you’ve been reading, He has been waiting. Consider doing something real and practical with Him. When we think of quality time with others, often we think of connecting through an activity, a heart-to-heart conversation, or a common experience. Perhaps you are in or can get into a physical space where you can do something to connect with God in a tangible way, alone in silence. Start by breathing deeply and slowly. Allow the distractions around you to fade into the background, and simply ask God for His presence. You can say something like, “Jesus, make me aware of Your presence.”
