“God wants an intimate relationship with us. He is not a God who is far away; he is the God who has made us his dwelling place. We are the temple of the Lord…He comes and makes his home in us. He could not be any closer. To talk to God, we don’t have to shout. For the Creator of the universe to hear us, we do not have to yell. Rather, to speak with him, we quiet ourselves. He is our breath. He is in every heartbeat. He tells us, ‘Be still and know that I am God.’ (Psalms 46:10)”
