How close can you get? Answer is as close as you want. Getting close to God however is not just for the wanting. Wanting to be near to God is not like wanting your favorit desert after dinner or like wanting your dream car or your dream house.

This is a paradox of ideas and a parady of words. God is in the not wanting anything els. Jesus said to Peter, “Peter do you love me more then these?” Jesus posed the question three times. By the third time, Peter was getting annoyed and responded to Jesus, “Lord you know every thing, you know I love you more.
God wants to be close to us. The scripture says, “draw near to God and He will draw near to you”. It’s interesting in this context God wants us to make the first move.
