ARE WE FRIENDS WITH GOD? - Isaiah 41:10. 

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Sometimes when we think about our Heavenly Father, we think of Him as being so Holy, so Powerful, so Awesome, but do we think of Him as being our best Friend?  When we think of a good friend, we think of someone we like to spend time with, tell our troubles to, who does things for you and you enjoy doing things for them.  Someone who shares in our good times and bad times, someone you can trust and call on at any time for help. 

All these qualities, and many more that we didn't list, describe our Heavenly Father.  If you don't have this close personal relationship with the Lord, we would like to encourage you today to get to know this God of Love.  Let Him be that special Friend who wants to spend time with you, who wants to do things for you and through you.
