I have discovered that it is just as important to be a friend to someone, not just have them as a friend. I cannot think of any reason why this would not be true where friendship with God is concerned. Does He consider me a good friend? Can He trust and can He count on me? The times I question my closeness to Him probably have more to do with my faithfulness to Him rather than His to me.
