6 Ways to Becoming a Best Friend of God

In our Christian walk, God should be/is the center of our faith. It is often portrayed and easy to understand the Master-servant relationship between us and God. However, God does want to be our friend. Not just a friend we see once a week, but a very close friend that converses daily. And by being close to Him we know our steps are guided by Him. Nothing is more important than this relationship with Him.

Through constant conversation. It's not about attending church once a week or just daily quiet time. Friendship is about talking and sharing experiences. The Bible does tell us to pray constantly.
Through continual meditation. This is basically thinking about His Word throughout your day. You can't love God unless you know Him, and to know Him is to know His word. You don't have to be constantly reading the Bible. You can think about it throughout your day, recalling verses and stuff.
Be honest with God. Isn't this the building block of friendship? By being honest. God doesn't need you to be perfect. He just wants you to be completely honest, about your faults, feelings. Even if you are discontented with something, bring it to God. Tell Him all about it, but still accept His decision it, as His ways are still higher than ours.
Obey God in faith. We don't normally think of obedience as a characteristic of friendship. It's more reserved for relationship with a boss or a superior. However, obeying God is a condition of being close to Him. This is so as we, as Christians, obey Him out of love, not out of duty, guilt or fear. Unbelievers think that Christians obey out of obligation but it is out of love, because we have been forgiven!
Desire friendship with God more than anything. This is also saying, place God first. We must be passionate about the relationship. As we are passionate about our friendships with our best friend, we must be even more passionate in this relationship with God. It's a relationship that will last forever.

Having know this I challenge you to make this effort to be close to Him.
