" 15 I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in is servants. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me."
This is one of my favorite things ever. I know I say that a lot, cause basically everything God as to offer is spectacular, but this really is one of my favorite things that He does, for certain. I love that He's not just a God who tells us to worship Him & not break His rules (though those are rather important things), but He wants a relationship with us; He desires friendship with us. This is an image a lot of people struggle with, I've found.
Here's an image of what my earthly friends & I do: We have deep conversations, we laugh.. A LOT, we have some of the dumbest conversations that don't even make sense, we eat food together, we hug a lot, we dance, watch movies together, etc.

I think a lot of times we picture God as this stale, somber man, and we forget that He's the author & creator of joy, and He wants to share that with us. And not only that, but He's also the author & creator of us, and He deeply desires that personal relationship with us. I love that. I love that He has great conversations with me, whether they be super deep or just me being super dumb; I love that He dances with me, whether it be graceful & just lovely, or flailing around like a mad woman; I love that He watches movies with me, and how conversations, insight, and truth come out of it; I love that He holds my hand or hugs me when I need it most, and that I can physically feel His hand in mine and His arms around me; I love that He's a God who desires a personal relationship/friendship with me even more than I do, which just kind of blows my mind...
So, these songs aren't the most biblically accurate, but they were the first ones to come to mind, and most of the lyrics apply. Plus, they're great songs =]
