Its an honor I cherish, and one I seek to live up tobut I dont always do it. Its the privilege of hearing my wife say, Youre my best friend, which she does often. As much as I love her, though, I occasionally do something that is not so best friend-ish.
In reality, no matter how hard we try, we cannot live up to the high standard of being a friend who never lets others down. We all fail from time to timeforgetting to do what we should or simply allowing selfishness to build a barrier between us.
As believers, we take comfort in knowing that we are called a friend of God, and He is a true friend who will never falter. Michael Gungors joyous song Friend of God captures the wonder of this relationship when it asks, Who am I that You are mindful of me?
Abraham was called the friend of God, and that friendship was related to his faith (2 Chron. 20:7; James 2:23). Jesus explained how we can receive that designation as well. He said to His disciples, You are My friends if you do whatever I command you (John 15:14). There is no better friend, for we know that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Heb. 13:5).
Looking for the best friend ever? You cant do better than the Lord Himself.
