This blog is about today’s devotion in the book Hearing from God Each Morning by Joyce Meyer.
Today’s devotion was about developing an intimate friendship with God. Our friendship with God is the most important one we can develop, and being called a friend of God is an amazing thing! But friendships take time and energy. You can’t call yourself a friend of God if you don’t spend time with Him, just like you can’t call yourself someone’s friend just because you know them.
I put so much energy into trying to be friends with everyone and helping them all that sometimes I forget that what I really need to be doing is developing the most important friendship I have. I feel like this next two months, in the middle of the crazy amount of things I need to get done, I need to really work on developing my friendship with God. I’ve been learning just how powerful prayer is and experiencing the wonders of God, but when that happens, sometimes we lose sight of what God intends for us: an intimate friendship with Him. Yes, He wanted me to experience these things I experienced this week (what friend doesn’t want their friend to experience wonderful things?), but He wants me to remember that my purpose is to grow closer to Him in friendship, as well as “spirituality.”
God is the best friend I could ever ask for. And He will never let me down!
