BECOMING PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GOD'S PRESENCE

"This is what God wants most from you: a RELATIONSHIP! God deeply loves you and desires your love in return. He longs for you to know Him and spend time with him. he delights in you! Building a relationship with God, and learning to love and be loved by Him should be the greatest objective of your life. Nothing else even comes close in importance." Rick Warren
