You can only become friend with somebody if you are comfortable with that person, if you know them and they know you. How will you know them? And how will you be able to sustain your friendship once it has been formed? Do you consider God as your friend? If so, how do you sustain that friendship? “How can we sustain our relationship with God so we can go to His Kingdom?” 1. Ha ve a meeting place. 2. Identify  and label your relationship with God. 3.
