It is an audacious thought, but God invites us to be His friend. Typically, friendship involves FAMILIARITY and FONDNESS. I'd argue that God has already proven that He knows you well, and that He's so crazy about you that He exchanged something of great value for your rescue.
The weak link in the friendship relationship is probably us. We might lack a bit in the FAMILIARITY of God by being sloppy in our study or pursuit of Him. We might be cool in our FONDNESS. Join me for 7 minutes to pursue the friendship of God, which is also to day, BE PURSUED by the friendship of God.
