By releasing us from the terrible burden of trying to earn His friendship, God put the focus right where He wanted it - on the relationship He always wanted to have with each of us. He wants to be a closer friend than any other we've ever had; to share our joys, our pains, even our failures as He teaches us how to live in Him.
Daily, God wants us to discover more about Him and how He wants to be involved with us. This is an intensely personal process. Try as we might to standardize that relationship by offering a checklist of actions necessary to cultivate it, we will always fall short. No living relationship thrives through the use of a checklist because it is far more dynamic than any list can facilitate. God can be personal enough to develop this friendship with each of us as we invite Him to do so.
