I think most people would say a best friend is there for you. Well, God fits that criterion. They might say, "A best friend loves you no matter what you do." Doesn't Apostle Paul say the love of God never fails?

Within the dream, even though I was the one speaking, it was a word of serious discipline to me. I talk a lot about love and prayer but I seldom consider that I cannot have one without the other.

It was unbearable. Experiencing agony like never before, I yearned for relief. Torture devices surrounded me and I didn't think I was going to escape alive. And I kept asking myself, "Is this some kind of plot to get me killed?" Needless to say, my first time working out in a gym was unforgettable.
