A hadith qudsi attributed to the Prophet Muhammad on the authority of Anas b. Malik (and collected in the Sahih of al-Bukhari) represents God as saying the following:
When a servant of mine advances a foot toward me, I advance a yard toward him. And when he advances a yard toward me, I advance toward him the length of his arms spread out. When he comes walking toward me, I go to him running.
