Human beings are the only creatures made in the image of God. Like Him, we are capable of thinking, reasoning and making decisions, although none of this is done perfectly. The attributes that separate people from the rest of creation, empower them to relate to the Lord in a special way.
Not even the angels, who were created for worship, can communicate with the heavenly Father in the same way that we have been invited. Jesus called his followers "friends" (Jn 15.15), and Paul wrote that believers are children of God (Gal. 4.7). Let's not relate in a distant and impersonal way! When we spend time with the Lord, we cultivate an intimacy with Him, like that of a beloved son with his Father.
When you have intimacy with God, there are changes within you. Because God is the only one who can solve the riddles of your life, the only one who can give an answer to your prayers, the only one who can take you out of the hole you are in, call yourself depression, loneliness, fear.
Romans 8: 38-39. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from the love of God. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, nor our fears of today nor our worries of tomorrow. Not even the powers of hell can separate us from the love of God. No power in the heights or in the depths, in fact, nothing in all creation will ever separate us from the love of God, which is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The greatest obstacle to communication with God is our perception of who He is. Basing our perception of God's character in the actions or ungodly attitudes of others will distort our understanding of His nature. Often, circumstances in our lives prevent us from approaching Him. But David says in Psalm 27:10 "Even if my mother and father left me, yet the Lord will gather me." In other words, no matter who abandons us, betrays us, or wounds us, the Lord is ready, willing and ready to embrace us.
