Best friends, like in high school..grade school. When you make a friend, a "best" friend, you always want to be together. When you aren't together you are always thinking of that person. When something is funny, sad, you immediately want to share it with that person. You can be together all the time and talk or not talk...it doesn't matter. You never get sick of each other. Not like family, you are sometimes together because you have to be. If you could choose who you wanted to spend a day with, it would not necessarily be your siblings. Maybe, but alot of families are not that close. It is ideal in marriage that your husband/wife be your best friend. But, can/should we have that close of a relationship with Jesus. He isn't just God ..up there somewhere watching to catch us being bad. He wants to be our best friend, closest, the one we go to first. Exodus 33:11 So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. 2 Chronicles 20:7 Are you not our God. Who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and gave it to the descendants of Your friend Abraham.In Exodus the word friend means An associate(more or less close) brother,companion,fellow,friend,husband,lover,neighbor. In 2 Chron it means To have affection for sexual or otherwise. God loves us and actually wants to be involved in our lives on a daily basis. I recently lost a good friend and really realized again that I need to be closer to God than anyone else. I am working at making him my best friend again.
