We need to cultivate “Close by” friendships.

Family relationships and friendships are a source of joy, belonging, and security!

We need someone who is simply a friend!

I’m determined to feed my friendships better with my time, my energy, and my presence.

Faith, Honesty, and Joyful Acceptance is a good basis for our relationship as Friends of God!

Friends love their friends, they don’t “fix” their friends or judge their friends.

I want to have friends and the relationship I want to have with them is friendship.

We chose to believe that God still had a purpose for us, that he had “chosen us and would not throw us away.”

It seems as if people and circumstances can have a lot of control in our lives.

Today’s devotional begins a brief series on how and when and where God Speaks to us.
