We have all met many, many people over the course of our lives to the present and, no doubt, we ll meet many more in the future. However, only a comparative few have ever been, or ever will become, our close friends. One of the most obvious reasons, and the first point is that of agreement. Think about it for a minute. Our very best friends are those who agree with us on the greatest number of really important issues.
Friends think alike.
We can be on friendly terms with others that is, having pleasant and warm conversation with them, enjoy seeing them from time to time but our closest friends are those who think like us. Clashing minds, diverging opinions and preferences do not really make for close relationships. In the words of the old saying, birds of a feather flock together . So it was in the case of Abraham and his friendship with God. He was in total agreement with God.
