Proverbs 8:17

Loving God means seeking a close intimate relationship with Him. That includes coming to Him for all of our needs. And whatever that need may be, when we persistently come before the Lord, He promises to answer. For He loves us with an endless, unconditional love. And out of that great love, when we reach out to Him, God will always be there. Because as our Father in heaven, He loves nothing more than to respond to the cries of His children.  So seek Him. Seek His face, and His presence. And trust that God will never forsake those whom He loves.
