MuSiNgS... Friend of God

Friend of God?
Supreme Being Seeks Human Interaction

Imagine. God: the Big Guy, the Man Upstairs, the Creator, the Great Spirit, the Mighty Gitchi Manitou. Seeking you out? You, a mere mortal, a transient, an ephemeral being. Here’s how I see it:

Companion. God is omnipresent. He’s always at my side. Even when my own sin and doubt clouds my vision, he remains faithful(1) and right where I left him. It’s more than that, though – I believe he yearns to spend time with me. I’m someone whose company he seeks out, someone with whom he wants to share experiences, both agreeable and disagreeable.

Soul-mate. I’m ideally suited to be God’s close friend. He created me with the ability to share thoughts with him, to appreciate him. I also possess an innate desire to relate to him with the deepest parts of me. In fact, if I’m not constantly communing with him, I’m left with a hunger, a longing for more.

Confidante. God wants to confide in me, to tell me the mysteries of his vast universe, to reveal his thoughts. “Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will be opened unto you.”(2) With so much under Jehovah Jireh’s guardianship, I can imagine that those thoughts never cease to flow. They’re constant, complex, and unpredictable. Being God’s confidante isn’t an occasional thing – it’s something that could and perhaps should take up the majority of my time.

I am a friend of God: He calls me friend(3).
