I think there is one more proximity bond, and that is the one where we are the caretaker and God the one in need of help.
Good examples of this is the story of the good samaritan, baby Jesus, the Lords concern for children and the poor and downtrodden; whoever has done a good thing towards a person in need of help, has done this as if they did it for the Lord.
This is an excellent point! I think we often are so focused on our dependence on God that we forget our obligation to provide care as well. Thank you so much for naming this dynamic.
