Friendships aren't born, they are created over time. Strength comes from trust, love, humility, honesty and sacrifice. One typically will go out of their way to help a friend whenever possible. There isn't a blood bond, but many times there is a heart bond that is even stronger.
Take a moment to evaluate your friendships. Ask yourself what is the foundation, what is the basis of your friendship. What are you putting into it, and what are you expecting to get out of it? What have you given up, what have they? What are you willing to give up to keep it?
Now evaluate your relationship with God. What is the foundation and basis for your relationship? What are you putting into it, and what are you expecting from Him? What have you sacrificed to follow Him? What has He sacrificed for you? What are you willing to do going forward to keep your relationship with God? What do you expect Him to do for you going forward?
John 3:16 tells us "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. That whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but shall receive eternal life."
He has given it all for you. Are you willing to do the same for Him? There is no more valuable relationship in your life than to strengthen this relationship first and foremost.
