Lets Not Loose Friendship

Friendship is interesting you can loose it if your not careful. Lost among all the small talk and chatter is something called relationship. Relationships between mother and daughter, father and son, husband and wife. How do we grow in relationships when we change as individuals. How do we keep it from growing two feet and running away from us. It is said that time waits for no man or woman for that matter.

John 15:15 (my personal paraphrase) I no longer call you servants that don't know what the master is doing but friends.

Did you loose friendship with God? Like a low level human did you expect Him to react like other humans. What do I mean by low level. Well compared to God we are all sub. That is sub-human if compared to such an infinite being as He is. We have a begin in birth and end our life on earth in death to start over in heaven. But He was there before heaven. The place where we make our new start.

Its what Christianity is all about being friends with God not just serving Him, not just groveling at His feet. Don't get me wrong if He shows up with a couple of high level angels I promise you that's what you will be doing. If you doubt it you have never had the experience.

I hear you saying He is a good God who loves us and never expects us to grovel in front of Him. I'm not talking His expectations. I'm talking Big and Little. Substance we are little he is BIG, GARGANTUON beyond our ability to comprehend. If you doubt it you live in pride that will lead to falling on you feet and doing a little groveling. And if your lucky it will be in front of God alone and not an group of your peers.

He wants us to be able to sit and talk with Him like the sons and daughters that we are very high level, not sub-human at all. But we must practice this in order to be up for the challenge of talking to someone that has to give us the ability to just be in His presence for a milisecond. Forget about understanding the getting of understanding is a bit over rated. Its in the bible that we need to get understanding but how? Not by going to pick up something like a bag of seeds. Its by practice. And if you are practicing you don't know everything don't understand much. If you have this mindset you may stumble upon an experience or two. That no one who understands much and is wise in there own eyes can talk you out of. You will understand when you believe.

1. That He (God) is infinite.
2. That He (God) wants you to be His friend.
3. That you are incapable of understanding why.
4. That He loves and is a Love that is bigger than any sin.
5. That He became a small (Jesus) human to show you how to Love.
6. And became our sins the sins that kill our ability to become friends with Him. Colossians. 1 Message Bible
   
7. You can do nothing to deserve this.

The only thing that you can do is accept the gift (ability) from Him to Love Him back.

That thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(Rom 10:9-10) KJV
