I hope that the introduction in the previous post has whet your appetite to have an up close and personal relationship with God. He is an awesome friend.
Do you have someone in your life that is a close friend to you? You know what I mean, one of those people that you can count on no matter what is going on in your life. When everyone else is against you , this friend is right there to see you through every situation in life. Those friends may be a rare find, but I am sure that each of us has a friend like that now. If you don't have a friend like that now, I am sure that at some point in your life you have had that type of a friend.
Using that friendship as a point of reference, how did you become close to your friend? Did the friendship just magically happen, or was it a friendship that took a little time and effort to develop? I know with every close friendship that I have had in life, it has taken time and effort to develop that bond. We learned each others likes and dislikes. We spent time doing activities and talking to each other. We spent time at each others homes. We learned the good things and the bad things about each other. There is nothing bad to learn about God, but the point is that friendship and relationships take time to build. In order to develop a close walk with God, you need to learn who he is and what he is like. Getting to know him will be a life long journey, but it is well worth the effort. In the next couple of posts, I will spend some time talking about God and who he is. I am not sure how many posts it will take. I am trying to keep these posts short and sweet so that it doesn't take but 5 or 10 minutes to read each post. If you want to read several posts you can, or you can read them one at a time. The choice is yours. I hope that they are a blessing to you.
