Day 12: Developing your friendship with God

"God is not mad at you, he's mad about you!". I like how this chapter focuses on developing a friendship with God. Friendships are not solidified overnight. It takes commitment. Friends will truly be interested in each other. God is "mad" about you. Do you share the same feeling about him?

Just like any of our friends, you are as close to God as you want to be.

A friend of mine said, "I'm fine. I believe in God and Jesus. That's all I need to know... I'll make it to heaven.". As Paul pointed it out to Timothy... He's missing the point. The most important thing in life is to know God... Which means you spend time with him. You can't develop strong friendships by just knowing of a friend... You must invest time with them to truly know them. It's up to each of us. God gives us the choice.
