May He richly bless you as you follow Him in obedience. Dr. Charles F. Stanley Our intimacy with GodHis highest priority for our livesdetermines the impact of our lives. O GOD, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You...
For You have been my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me. PSALM 63:1, 7-8 God has purposed to reproduce His life in and through your life. In order for that to happen, He must reveal Himself to you and bring you into an intimate relationship with Himself. CHARLES F. CHARLES F.

STANLEY God, who said, Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves. 2 CORINTHIANS 4:6-7 Everyone has a direct relationship to God because of who He is. He is the Creator of this world and all that is in it. He is the sovereign Ruler of this entire universe. DR. CHARLES F. CHARLES F.

STANLEY Since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. ROMANS 1:20 On the basis of Christs death, you have been declared not guilty. You have agreed that He will pay your sin debt in full. You have been reconciledno matter how sinful youve been. He has brought you back into relationship with Himself, and the moment you trust Him as your Savior, He sets you apart for His purposes in life. CHARLES F. CHARLES F.

STANLEY When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. COLOSSIANS 2:13-14 In the beginning God said, Let Us make man in Our image. Why? So we can know Him, love Him, and receive His goodness and kindness. That is Gods purpose. DR. CHARLES F.

STANLEY God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness... God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. GENESIS 1:26-27 Intimacy says, God, here is my heart. I am willing to unwrap myself before Youmy soul, my spirit, and everything I am. I want You to know there is nothing I am holding back. This is a personal relationship.

This is true intimacy. DR. CHARLES F. STANLEY Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way. PSALM 139:23-24 God wants you to know Him fully. DR. CHARLES F. CHARLES F.

STANLEY Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments. DEUTERONOMY 7:9 Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him. Peter and the apostles answered, We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross. He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. DR. CHARLES F. CHARLES F.

STANLEY The wicked earns deceptive wages, but he who sows righteousness gets a true reward. PROVERBS 11:18 Everyone makes decisions that impact his or her lifeand the consequences of those decisions spill over into the lives of others. That is why you cant say, Its my own life, I will do with it whatever I please. You and I cant live that way because we all have influence.
