Nowadays, we're not so worried because generally we can talk through our problems. Even in our worst moments, we know if we simply take time to calm down, reflect, and then talk, we'll survive the storms. Well, building trust in God also took time for me. As an adolescent, whenever I doubted or questioned or sinned, I worried that He might reject me. There is more to friendship than getting acquainted with prospective friends.
Friendships take work to grow.
Whoever said friendships are like flowers was right, because neither will grow without neglect. Even a relationship with God won't grow without work. He wants our love as much as our friends want our love. However, the closest friendships can endure small amounts of neglect, deception, betrayal, and other vices because of the depth of which the individuals involved care for one another. My friend once told me that the people who truly care about me will love me despite my flaws and, indeed, love is perhaps the most beautiful as well as strongest foundation to a relationship.
