Alice Smith wrote in her email today, that, "The Lord doesn't have favorites, but he does have intimates."
I never thought of it that way, but it puts anyone's relationship with God in an intelligent light, especially since scripture states that God is not a respecter of persons. Yet there were those that somehow seemed to have the inside track with Him like Enoch (walked with God), Abraham (friend of God), Moses (prophet of God), David (a man after God's own heart).
So what makes someone intimate? Intimates:
Speak the same language
Walk in the same direction
Hear what is said, and what is meant
Enjoy sharing
Take the time to be together
Eat together
Ask for forgiveness and are willing to be wrong
Are willing to change
Are willing to risk
Are willing to be vulnerable
