Communication is an attribute that sets humans apart from the rest of creation. By the use of words we’re able to understand what others need as well as their feelings and intentions. We communicate on multiple levels, including silence. Facial and eye expressions and other body language relate clear messages.
God designed us for communion with himself, which is a profound truth from his word. By faith we enter into fellowship with God, and then faith works to builds a bridge to intimacy with him. Faith creates a desire to be near to God and prompts us to seek forgiveness when sin becomes a barrier to fellowship and intimacy.
Listen to David’s need for fellowship with God. "One thing I asked of the Lord is that I may dwell in God’s house all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and seek him in his temple." David gained comfort and security by communing with God personally, and you can follow his lead.

Jesus answered, “If anyone really loves me, he will
observe my teaching, and my Father will love him, and both of us will come in
face-to-face fellowship with him; yes, we will make our special dwelling place
with him.

We saw it, we heard it, and now we’re telling you so you
can experience it along with us, this experience of communion with the Father
and his Son, Jesus Christ.
