Rick Warren had some very good points as he continued the topic of being a friend with God from chapter 11. He added that:

1. I must choose to be honest with God
2. I must choose to obey God in faith
3. I must desire friendship with God more that anything

The point that stuck out to me the most was about just being honest. How many times to we lie to ourselves about our relationship with God. You must be honest to God. That is the only way allow God to really reach you.

My Presumptions:

Lets just be real with God and real with ourselves. We are where we are and not being honest about it only hurts ourselves.
