As a Friend

Do you have a best friend? A best friend is a precious gift from God. And do you know that God wants to be your very best friend? Jesus came so that we could be in close relationship with God. While a human best friend cannot always be with you, God can. He is with you every hour and every moment. And He is happy to be with you. Before Jesus ascended back to heaven, He told His followers, Remember, I am with you always (Matthew 28:20). God feels for you. He knows whatever you are going through. A human friend cannot always help you when you have a problem, but God is there to walk you through it. Whenever you are sad, God will weep with you, as Jesus wept alongside Mary and Martha (John 11:35). And He will make you joyful again (Psalm 30:11). You can talk to God anytime. God spoke to Moses as a friend. You can talk to God about anything, and He will listen to you. God is delighted when you talk to Him as a father delights in his child. God likes listening to your prayers and to whatever you want to tell Him. He will not reject you or push you away. He understands you and is considerate of you. He accepts you for who you really are. God knows about your goals and dreams, and He cares about each one. As you seek Him, He will guide you and provide for all your needs. He will be with you all the way. If you’ve put your trust in Jesus, you can know that God is your very best friend. He loves you dearly. He will never leave you. You can count on Him. Golda Dilema Do you sometimes feel like God is distant from you? Who are trusted Christians who can pray with you when you are feeling this way? Are you aware that you are special to God? You can ask God to reveal this truth to your heart anytime. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God’s friend. James 2:23 (CSB)
