Have you ever had a true best friend? I have had the great fortune to have had four in my life and in even greater fortune, married the fourth. A best friend is someone who really likes you, someone who really knows you and most all your issues and still prefers to hang out with you and vise versa. However there is still one hurdle that I allow no BFF to cross over, that is to completely know me. Besides being impossible there are still things I would never reveal about me even to my lover. That is one of the greatest qualities of God, He knows it all, in fact, He tells us that he knows even those things that we don’t know about yourself, the true condition of my heart, the number of hairs on my head (very few but still unknown to me), how I should really pray and the number of my days on earth come to mind. This makes God my UBFF. Because he knows me completely I stand in great need to be with Him as much as possible, to have Him involved in my every day all day, to make my relationship with Him my highest priority. When the Bible reveals that my heart is “deceitful above all things” and that only God can truly know my heart much less change it, my every day becomes an overwhelming need to be with Him before I can hurt myself or someone else with this deceitful heart of mine. Only He can truly make me someone that anyone would even want to call—their BFF.
