Being a friend of God is one of the most intimate relationships a person can have in this life.  Everyone is an adopted child of the King and is entitled to their inheritance and intimacy with the Father, but those that are “friends of God” are shown the mysteries and revelations of God.  It says in James 2 that:

And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God‘s friend.

I don’t pretend to understand what all the Lord is doing in my life right now, but I am so humbled to be his friend.  He has tabernacled himself in me, and revealing leagues of himself in the process (If it sounds like I’m having a hard time describing what’s happening to me in this moment of my life, it’s because it is impossible to fully illustrate).

All I can say is, seek to be His friend.  It’s a good thing.

Paul
