How Do You Show Yourself To God?

2 Sam 22:26-28 (also Psalm 18:24-26)
To the faithful you [God] show yourself faithful;
To those with integrity you show integrity.
To the pure you show yourself pure,
But to the wicked you show yourself hostile.


Like in any relationship, how we interact with God actually matters. God is not a cosmic robotic Santa Clause. While it's truth that God will never deny His loving nature, and He does not have fragile feelings or a trigger-happy temper, God does respond to us. After all, that is what a relationship is all about. You have to work at it. You have to spend time talking and (dare I say) relating. You have to commit. You have to decide not to booby trap the closet every time you don't get your way.

I like to think that God shows Himself to us the way we show ourselves to Him (granted His love and faithfulness means we always get much better than we deserve, and we can never ever ever ever earn God's love or acceptance, but receive it freely). So let me ask you this, "how do you show yourself to God?". First of all, did you show yourself? Second, was it consistent with how you desire to see God?
