Knowing God

I'm thinking a lot these days about how well I "know" God. I wonder how much time we truly put into "knowing" God. I don't mean bible study and works. I mean truly "knowing" Him like we know those in our life who we love truly. I guess it requires much "one on One" action, which requires much conversation with the One whom we want to "know"! I guess that it requires much desire to love Him more than all the others that we "know" and love. Can you imagine "knowing" Him so well that the joy overflows until the tears flow uncontrollably?? Oh...to know Him this well! I long to know Him more and more...what about you? John 17:25 "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you....."
