Day 12: Developing Your Friendship with God

HEY LADIES AND GENTS.

PURPOSE DRIVEN DAY 12: DEVELOPING YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

I MUST CHOOSE TO BE HONEST WITH GOD:

We must come to the Father in complete honesty. We do not have to be perfect, but honesty is definitely needed. Like in any personal relationship we have with friends, we attempt to keep it truthful. Why? Because we value honest relationships. We do not have to be perfect in order to be God's friend because of the never ending Grace that He gives. Being expressive to God concerning feelings of doubt, anger, sadness are first steps to having next level intimacy with God. 

I MUST CHOOSE TO OBEY GOD IN FAITH

Executing faith and trust is a big topic in this book. Every time we trust God and carryout the assigned task, our relationship with God deepens. He loves that you use your faith...after all, He is only asking for faith of a mustard seed to show you His abilities. Obedience shows that we love and trust God intimately. God appreciates when we do the "small things" for him in loving obedience, such as telling the truth, being kind, encouraging others etc. 

I MUST CHOOSE TO VALUE WHAT GOD VALUES

You must care about what God cares about: redemption of His people. Be apart  of the community sharing the love of God.

I MUST DESIRE FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

The truth is we are as close to God as we desire to be! The bible says in order to find God, we must seek Him. He intentionally will  cause distress in our lives for us to reconnect  and fellowship with Him. 


Love Always,

Stephanie
