Walking with God

“Enoch walked with God, and he was not.”
— Gen. 5:24

“Talk with Him. Never be content without being able to walk and talk with Christ as with a dear friend. Be not satisfied with anything short of near intercourse with Him who has loved you with such manner of love!”

“The characteristic of those who love Him will be obedience. When we get to this close relationship, the sign of love is knowing the wishes of the person you love. Where Christ is precious, there is attentiveness. … Many Christians have not His commandments. … If we had an open ear — wakened morning by morning — we should have His commandments, we should know His mind, and what He wishes. I can find out the wishes of my father if I am thoughtful and attentive. … He that loves Him gets the "secret of the Lord."”
