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.
But how do we become a light that shines brightly before others? The first step is making sure we choose not to live in darkness ourselves.
We all long for unconditional acceptance and closeness. It all starts with learning to develop intimacy with God.
By digging down deep, we start the process toward having a faith in God that is not easily shaken. However, depth takes work. It is not a personality trait or a natural talent, but rather a skill that must be worked at and developed over time.
Even when we make mistakes and hurt God, he still sticks with us because he loves us. Nothing we do can drive him away.
Being vulnerable with God means being comfortable with our weaknesses because we know God’s power is greater than any of our weaknesses or flaws and that all our strength and courage comes from God. There’s freedom knowing that God loves us no matter what and can make us strong despite our weaknesses or insecurities.
