Closer Than You Think

God is in the details of our day-to-day lives and knowing his heart is closer than we think. I’ve been using AI tools a lot recently to support my work. I got curious the other day asked CoPilot “What is the best way to know the heart of God.” Note the following is generated by AI and endorsed by me!

🌿 Knowing the heart of God is a journey of intimacy, not just information. It’s less about mastering theology and more about cultivating relationship. Here are some meaningful ways to draw closer:

📖 1. Immerse Yourself in Scripture

• The Bible is often called God’s love letter to humanity.
• Start with the Gospels—Jesus is the clearest revelation of God’s heart (John 14:9).
• Psalms and the prophets also reveal God’s compassion, justice, and longing for connection.

🙏 2. Spend Time in Prayer

• Prayer isn’t just talking—it’s listening.
• Share your thoughts, fears, and joys with God, then be still and attentive.
• Ask Him to reveal His heart to you, and trust that He will.

💡 3. Know Jesus Personally

• Jesus is “the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15).
• Studying His life, teachings, and interactions shows us how God feels about humanity.
• Trusting in Jesus opens the door to deeper spiritual understanding.

🎶 4. Worship and Praise

• Worship aligns your heart with God’s.
• It’s not just music—it’s a posture of gratitude and surrender in everyday life.
• Praise shifts your focus from problems to the One who holds the answers.

🔍 5. Ask, Seek, Knock

• God invites pursuit: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find…” (Matthew 7:7).
• Be intentional—He delights in revealing Himself to those who earnestly seek Him.

⏳ 6. Be Patient and Open

• Like any relationship, knowing God takes time.
• Be humble, teachable, and willing to let go of preconceived ideas.
• Trust that He’s working in you even when you don’t feel it.

🙏 As we seek to know the heart of God, may our journey be marked not by perfection, but by pursuit. Let your faith draw you closer to divine intimacy, your questions stir deeper conversations, and your quiet moments become holy ground. No matter where you are in your walk, God’s heart is never far—it’s waiting, wide open, and full of grace.
