B.F.F. = God

Jan 05, 2024

Is God your B.F.F. (Best Friend Forever)?

Did you know God can be your B.F.F.?

Yes – it’s possible and needs to be something you want to consider.

Keeping close to God like a friend in the flesh is the direction I’m suggesting.

How do you do it?

It’s a mind shift. Taking our actions of our friendships here on earth to how we can and need to relate to God. Let me explain further.

Women need friends to verbally process things in our lives, that’s just how women are - - blab, blab, blab. It’s okay because we’re made this way.

However, when we seek out our friends to constantly fill us full of reassurance, confidence, strength, understanding, and solutions we can get into a weird relationship and dependence on them. Then we are seeking out validation and the need to fill the emptiness we feel within.

I experienced this constant searching and seeking out of others to fill me up. It border lined on the verge of crazy and it needed to stop. God needed to fill the voids and close the gaps in my soul not another human being. Once I realized my over dependency on others to fix my problems, it led to the next big question that I already asked.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15 ESV

How do I make God my B.F.F.?

It takes time just like we would with a friend in the flesh. There needs to be time to connect and spend time together, listen, talk, vent, share frustrations, and excitement. The best thing to do is to imagine what we do with our friends here on earth; this is the way to think of how we develop our relationship with God.

God Time Developing Tips

  1. Five Minutes to Come Alive – Give God five minutes of your time each day.
  2. Same Time, Same Place – Set aside the same time each day and a certain location to meet with God.
  3. Spiritual Tool Kit – Make sure you have all the items needed for your time with God, Bible, devotional, journal, etc.

More tips and further resources can be found in my book Every Day Simple: Living a life of HOPE in a complicated world in Chapter 7. There is also a FREE download of 5 Must Do’s before 8AM to Deepen Your Faith.

Letting God become our Best Friend Forever, the most important relationship in our lives so take the challenge of making God our Best Friend Forever (B.F.F.), it can be done.

Prayer

Father God, we love you and we know you love us. Please help us feel your mighty presence just like we do our close friends here on earth. Fill us with love and joy like we feel when we are around our friends here on earth. We want to know and feel your love more each day. Help change our hearts to know we are worthy of all the love you pour upon us. Let us get to know you so we can feel like we are loved like the only one and you are our B.F.F. Amen.
