Best Friends with God

Best Friends With God; Falling in Love With the God Who Loves You is an adult nonfiction written by Christy Bower.
Christy  Bower tells us how God sends His Love to us and uses the Emmaus Travelers in the Scriptures to bring this point home.
She helps us understand the times of  wondering if God Loves us or not. Does He love us individually or just as a world? She uses the Prodigal Son  for an example.
She explains how we can be transformed by Love, as Paul was.
Mary of Bethany decided to go for the desires of her heart and spend time at Jesus feet even when it wasn't usually done that way.
David danced before God even when his wife Michal was opposed because of the love he felt for God.
Job , who God talked to Satan about knew he was loved even though all his Children and livestock had died. God greatly blessed him in the end.
Peter who denied Jesus three times knew that he and Jesus were best friends and they loved each other.
These are all the kind of examples we need in our lives because Jesus does love each and every one of us. We need to love Him in the same way.
