Day 12 – Developing Friendship With God
Progressively becoming deeply and intimately acquainted with God does not happen by accident, but by passionate desire to be close to Him. Certainly, God knows you because He is the All-knowing but how well do you know Him?
How close you are to God is proportional to your decision to be. James 4:8(NLT) “Draw close to God and God will draw close to you”. Intentionally seeking to get close brings Him close to you as well. It takes decision backed up with acts of investing your desire, time and energy to build friendship with God.
If you want to enjoy a deeper, more intimate connection with God you must learn to honestly share your feelings with him, trust him when he asks you to do something, learn to care about what he cares about, and desire his friendship more than anything else.
There is nothing more important than developing a friendship with God because relationship with Him lasts forever. There is an everlasting strength that comes when you know God and you are able to exploits.
Point to Ponder: I’m as close to God as I choose to be.
Question to Consider: What practical choices will I make today in order to grow closer to God?.
