growing with God

Recently, I've been thinking more and more as to what it means for a person to become "closer" with God. As Christians, we always talk about how we need a deeper relationship with God, but we are never really able to define when that happens and how that happens. Those kinds of thoughts led into this idea that I now have as to what "walking with God" really means.

1) God is so much bigger and so much greater in reality than we are.
2) We spend so much of our time trying to be on the same level as God.
3) When we try to look towards God, all we can see is a tiny bit, because we're so small and he's so huge that our eyes cannot wrap themselves around him.
4) As we seek God more, we begin to be humbled by how great God is, and start to lower ourselves from God - we no longer put ourselves on the same level as God.
5) Consequently, we are able to see gradually more and more of God, more of the "big picture" because by stepping back, we expand our sight of vision.
6) In the end, we are humbled, yet we can see more of God, and know more of who God is. I think this is the essence of growing with Christ.
