The Bible is full of people who have learned from God how to be friends that understand, connect with, admire, challenge, and love each other.

Asking God for self-discipline won’t amount to much if your motive is not to love others.
We all long for unconditional acceptance and closeness. It all starts with learning to develop intimacy with God.
