Most of us were raised with a concept that God is High, Holy and He resides in heaven to sovereignly reign over ant-like people who continually struggle with problems. Since I viewed God as distant, I never fully grasped the impact of these concepts of proximity with Him:

John 15:15-17 He calls us friends instead of servants, and makes known the Father’s business

Eph. 2:6 God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms.

1 Cor. 3:9 Jesus did what he saw the Father doing and we are called co-workers

Rev. 3:20 He knocks on our door and offers to eat with us – conversation!

Rev. 4:4 John saw 24 other thrones around Jesus and the Father
