If you are helping God to help you, you are using God.
If you are using God, you are embracing God in your life.
If you are embracing God, you are loving God.
If you are loving God, you are trusting God.
And if you are trusting God, you are knowing God for sure.
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
You now know how to create a friendship with God. A true friendship. A real friendship. A
practical, working friendship.
Great! Can I begin using it right away? And don’t say, “You can, but you may not.
What?
Oh, I had a third-grade teacher who was always correcting our grammar. When we would
raise our hand and say, “Sister, can I go to the bathroom?” she would always say, “You can,
but you may not.
Ah yes, I remember her.
Can you ever forget?
I can, but I may not.
Ba-da-boom. Cymbal crash, please.
Thank you—thank you—thank you very muuuuch.
But seriously, folks... I’d like to begin using this friendship. You said that You would help me
understand how to practicalize, how to make functional, the wisdom in Conversations with
God; how to use it in our daily lives.
Well, that’s what a friendship with God is for. It’s for helping you to remember these things.
It’s for making your day-to-day life easier, your moment-to-moment experience more of an
expression of Who You Really Are.
This is your greatest desire, and I have established a perfect system whereby all of your
desires may be realized. They are being realized now—in this very moment. The only
difference between you and Me is that I know this.
In the moment of your total knowing (which moment could come upon you at any time), you,
too, will feel as I do always: totally joyful, loving, accepting, blessing, and grateful.
These are the Five Attitudes of God, and I promised you that before our dialogue was over, I
would show you how the application of these attitudes in your life now can, and will, bring you
to Godliness.
