Perhaps people argue over the existence of God because He's very intimate. He can not be walled off or put in some box. He is everywhere at all times. The evidence of His existence can not be denied though many try to ignore the truth. They can't get around it that God is real. Because God is real and His presence has no limits, He can be intimate in the very cracks and crevices of our lives.
Intimacy can make anyone uncomfortable. As it was described once, a married couple can be in any number of rooms in the house doing their own thing and enjoying their space. Then to enter into the bedroom narrows the space to four walls. It becomes even more narrower when sharing a king size mattress! They are inches away from each other.
God walked with Adam and Eve, Enoch and Abraham. He spoke to Moses face to face as a friend. He spoke kindly and truthfully to a woman at the well who knew how human intimacy failed. Even while dying on the cross looking at his mother and John, Jesus expressed concern by declaring John as her son and Mary his mother (John 19:27).
The intimacy of God expresses His care only strengthens the evidence of His reality. Beloved, God truly cares what matters to us. Will we let God have our hearts completely?
Here is a promise of His care found in 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (KJV). Take your burdens to the Lord, beloved for He truly cares for you!
