Beloved, let’s be friends!
Every person has a longing for intimate connection, to know and to be known and loved by others. And this is My longing too because you are made in My image! I want to be known and loved by you.
Abraham was My friend, and I shared My thoughts and plans with him (Genesis 18:17; 2 Chronicles 20:7).
Yahuah said, “Shall I keep secret from Abraham [My friend and servant] what I am going to do,
Genesis 18:17 (AMP)
O Yahuah, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Your friend Abraham?
2 Chronicles 20:7 (AMP)
With Moses, I spoke to him face to face as with a friend (Exodus 33:11). But I will not share my heart with just anyone, only with those I can trust.
And so Yahuah used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his attendant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Exodus 33:11 (AMP)
Will you be trustworthy with My heart?
Will you spend time getting to know Me?
Will you let Me mean more to you than the things I do for you?
Will you be My friend?

In Song of Songs 4:9 the king’s words to his beloved are: You have stolen my heart. The Hebrew word here is ‘libabthini’ which is rooted in a description of tearing bark off a tree. This is our loving Saviour’s description of his heart as we worship him – uncovered and laid bare! God himself chooses to make himself vulnerable to his friends and lovers and will share his very heart with us!
Ask Yahusha to forgive you for the times you have wanted Him to give you something more than you wanted to get to know Him. Also, for the occasions you have been keener to work for Him than be with Him. Share your own heart with Him as you would with a friend. But don’t leave it at that, listen also as He shares His heart with you. Take time, like Mary did, to simply sit with Him (Luke 10:39).
“You have ravished my heart and given me courage, my sister, my [promised] bride; you have ravished my heart and given me courage with a single glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.
Song of Songs 4:9 (AMP)
She had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at Yahusha’s feet and was continually listening to His teaching.
Luke 10:39 (AMP)
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
Luke 15:15 (NIV)
The friendship[a] of Yahuah is for those who fear Him, and He makes known to them His covenant.
Psalm 25:14 (ESV)

[a] Psalm 25:14 Or The secret counsel
23 While Yahusha was at the Passover Feast, the number of His followers began to grow, and many gave their allegiance to Him because of all the miraculous signs they had seen Him doing!
24 But Yahusha did not yet entrust Himself to them, because He knew how fickle human hearts can be.
John 2:23-24 (TPT)
