God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
When we learn to make God a personal friend, he will become real to us, and in doing so teach us how to become a “true friend” to others.
God created each of us to be original, with unique talents, personalities, backgrounds, strengths, and weaknesses.
Motivation to build relationships happens when we are moved by God’s love and have the courage to face our fears.
