Knowing God or Having a Relationship With Him??

Sitting here tonight thinking about a conversation I had with a friend earlier this evening. We were talking about people that say they know the Lord. But there is a difference in "knowing the Lord" and "having a relationship with the Lord". for example... when we work with someone, we may know that person, or know of that person, but that is different than having a personal relationship with the...

m. How many times do we hear people say, " well, I know the Lord", but do they have a personal relationship with God? .... that deep walk with God that we need to have....
Another example is just like with our companion... If we just "know" our companion, but don't feel that closeness with them, then it's sometimes a cold empty feeling. Just like when 2 people marry... they may just know each other, but not really have that closeness. But when we have a personal relationship with them.... a closeness with them, we can feel how much they love us, and we know their love is truly real. We love them in return and we know we would do anything to protect them, take care of them, and show our love for them. A personal relationship with them.
I don't want to just " know God" .... But I want that close walk with him. I want to live for Him in such a way that he knows that I love him with all my heart! Matthew 22:37 says Jesus replied,"Love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." There is so much more to knowing God then just knowing who he is. I want to be a woman after God's own heart! I want a closeness with him like I've never had before, and I want to continually have a desire to be closer to him! What about you? God bless...
