People were created to have a relationship with God and relationships with one another. For those who have been born into the family of God, we are also counted as His friends. How powerful, how wonderful is that personal relationship between God and us.

He is the best friend anyone can possibly have, promising to never leave us or forsake us. Our relationship with God is the most important relationship we will ever have on this earth, and it is more than worth our time to invest into it.
God also created us to have a strong, personal bond with each other—to grow together, laugh together, and play together. Classmates, neighbors, coworkers, family members—friendships develop at all levels and stages of life. True friendships surpass time, experiences, and distance.

God gave us good relationships, like friends, close friends, casual friends, or even authentic bestfriends,they will encourage, challenge, and refresh us. But the best friend we’ll ever have is Jesus, and He also will put people around us to be His hands and feet to us.

“"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.”‭‭John‬ ‭15:12-15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends.”‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4:9-10‬ ‭ESV‬‬
