Day 11: Becoming Bestfriends with God

God is a God never to be feared anymore as our ancestors did. God proved himself to be a loving God whose image is not that of a totalitarian or dictator. Throughout time, he has revealed himself capable of going down from his pedestal in order to win his people. He could have chosen not to do it because he is God. But out of love and in love, He did this unhesitatingly. Its outright manifestation is the deliverance we gained because He sent Jesus to redeem us. True enough, God has been becoming more of a personal God. This is treating Him with the a respect of a comrade and with a love of a sweetheart. Intimacy perhaps is a more befitting word to describe this kind of ideational relationship with God. And for that intimacy to grow and bloom into its fullest potential, becoming bestfriends with God is an inner voice that must not be turned down nor neglected. To this, I think I am responding quite well. Lately, I've found myself serious in prayer and meditation. It is through prayer that I have an open conversation with God. It is my spending time with him, where I utter thanksgiving and ask him for wisdom and strength to face each day's daunting challenges. And it is through meditation that God speaks to me in response. His words are revealing a good deal of great things that I myself has become overwhelmed. I am amazed at the interconnections of His word vis-a-vis my own experiences. They are slowly making sense to me. Gradually, I believe things are getting aligned. This I always say. But this I say because I am slowly learning to live by my faith, which requires me to establish a friendship with God. Of course, I still have to learn a great amount of things towards this quite seemingly impossible path that I am choosing. It's not an easy path, but I've got nothing to lose.
