Choices

Today I was reading about the choices we make concerning our relationship with God just as Abraham did. In Shechem (the place of choosing) he chose Yahweh as his God. At Bethel (house of God) he chose to enter into relationship as a son with Father God. The next place of decision came at Hebron (indicating an association or friendship) where he chose to accept the invitation of friendship with God. Through Jesus we find the Savior, Son of God, who brought us into all of these relationship categories if we choose to accept Him. To know Him as God is good and profitable. To know Him as Father is a place of comfort and blessing. To know Him as friend is a place of intimacy where now we have access to the dreams and heart of one who is always close, always listening, always speaking, laughing with us, and walking with us. This is the place that is not just about me; it's about us, because we are friends. So where are you with this?
