What is clear and most heart-rending is that we have looked at God as an it. We've called Him "the anointing" or "the glory", and we've said it is on certain leaders, and we've clamored all around the world to get more of it from them. God wants intimacy with us, but we're still going the indirect route, looking for "more of Him" (notice that makes Him an it again) instead of being intimate with Him and growing together from there.
