Encouragement for Today

One of the coolest things about God is that He wants to be our friend, not some distant or far off being. He wants us to talk to Him, sharing about our day and every little thing that happens in our lives. He wants to hear the big stuff and the small stuff. And He never gets tired of hearing us talk. So, today, make sure you spend some time with Him. Picture in your mind that He is your most trusted and loyal friend hanging out with you all day long. And remember, you will never have a more loyal and faithful best friend at your side than God.
