God will come to meet our needs and bless us with His presence. When we come near to God we begin to reveal the likeness of God. We are fashioned in God's image, which is love. It is easy to say we love God, but the evidence is in our love towards our neighbours. A love relationship does not count the cost, but is prepared to pay.
Love demands total commitment, overrides all other claims.
All our actions are done for love's sake. The result is a true companionship and friendship with the object of our love. David, despite all his faults and failures as a person, was considered a friend of God. He asked God's forgiveness and repented from his actions, and love brought reconciliation and growth. Lent a time to look at your relationship with God.
