B.F.F. = God
Is God your B.F.F. (Best Friend Forever)?
Did you know… He can be?
Yes—it’s possible.
________________________________________
Staying close to God like a friend in the flesh is something we can do.
But how does that actually happen?
________________________________________
It starts with a mindset shift.
We take what we know about friendships here on earth… and apply it to our relationship with God.
Let me explain.
________________________________________
Women need friends.
We talk things out.
We process life.
We share everything—blab, blab, blab 😊
And that’s okay—we’re made that way.
________________________________________
But here’s where it can go sideways…
When we constantly look to other people to fill us with:
• reassurance
• confidence
• understanding
• solutions
We can become dependent on them in a way that was never meant to be.
________________________________________
I’ve been there.
Looking to others to fill the emptiness, to fix what I was feeling inside.
And honestly?
It gets exhausting… and a little crazy.
________________________________________
That’s when I realized something had to change.
👉 God needed to fill those places in me—not another person.
________________________________________
So the question becomes:
How do I make God my B.F.F.?
________________________________________
Just like any relationship…
👉 It takes time.
You don’t become best friends overnight.
You build it by:
• Spending time together
• Talking
• Listening
• Sharing your thoughts
• Being honest
________________________________________
It’s no different with God.

________________________________________
“I have called you friends…” — John 15:15
________________________________________
God isn’t distant.
He wants relationship.
He wants connection.
He wants to be the One you go to first—not last.
________________________________________
Letting God become your B.F.F. will be the most important relationship in your life.
So take the challenge.
Give Him your time.
And watch what begins to grow.

Prayer
Father God, we love you and we know you love us. Help us feel your presence just like we do with close friends here on earth. Fill us with your love and joy. Help us know that we are worthy of the love you pour out. Teach us how to grow closer to you each day. Come and be our B.F.F. Amen.
