Relationship with God offers the precious opportunity to live in His presence, converse with Him and know Him more. God does not need us as He is Complete in Himself. The Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit have a beautiful, perfectly collaborative relationship sometimes referred to as ‘the dance of God.’
And yet, God made us, and went to great lengths to redeem us, for relationship with Him. Part of this intimacy, is the awesome privilege of partnering with God in prayer and seeing lives changed, healed and set free!
E.M. Bounds said “Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.”
Jesus said the world would know we are His disciples: by our love for one another. We have the incredible benefit of sharing this journey together as brothers and sisters in Christ and bringing one another before the Lord in prayer. John Calvin said “To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.”
