Psalm 11:7 says:
"The LORD is good and loves good deeds;
those who do them will live in his presence." Kerry's Version

...and those who live in His presence will do them...

It is only by clinging to God's presence moment by moment throughout the day that He enables us to do truly supernatural good deeds.  We cultivate an awareness of God's loving presence all day long as we practice paying attention to Him, constantly adoring and thanking Him, gazing in to His beautiful face with our inward eyes, clinging to his neck with our spiritual arms as we let him carry us along. Encountering His love thus motivates us to reach out and love others, especially those we tend to avoid and ignore; yet at the same time doing good to others, so that it costs us, is in itself another way to cling to God's loving Presence. 

Communing with God lets us love others, and loving others lets us commune with God.
