Friendship with God. Think of your last prayer. Were you more devoted to your own desires or to God. When we’re first saved, we served God primarily on a outer level. It may of felt like we were really close but it was because we were a baby God’s eyes. But as we grow God will distance himself. Why? Because he wants to teach us to follow him. We can’t stay a bottle fed baby. I think one of the reasons people leave their first love is because serving God is different. He expects the stink to leave. I was happy when my children were potty trained. As you get older as a Christian you have to die to the old self. It’s not your will but his that is left after your flesh is out of the way.

It is amazing to me how long I stayed what I would call a baby Christian. Even more amazing is how all the sudden a lightbulb will turn on revealing something to you that you never realized. For instance, I have really learned in just the past couple of weeks about how important it is to praise God when you pray. I know, it sounds stupid. I think sometimes I need to write one of those Dummies book, Dummies guide to being a Christian, lol. Anyways, I feel so different since I have started doing this. And today, I learned that I should declare God’s favor over everything!
