@georgia My reason for this is exactly the kind of thing a kid would come up with too. I think I came up with it when I was pretty young. Maybe 7 or 8? Around then. We had just moved across country for crazy reasons I won't get into, but literally abandoned a house and fled to a completely different climate and culture to get away from something my mom's baby-daddy had going on. I had zero friends. I was functionally incapable of forming friendships with new people. I was bullied by pretty much everyone at school and church, and by my mom and her bf and my new step bro at home. So, I wanted a friend who would always be with me no matter what. So, I decided I'd be friends with God. It's a pretty fantastic solution for a little kid to come up with. Like, God is everywhere, so you'll never move and lose Him. And He's super nice. He's never once hurt my feelings. And, when I need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to talk to, or help with something, I can just ask. He comforts me when I have a night terror, and today when I was so constipated that I was screaming my head off and having seizures, I prayed and He took away the seizures so I could control the muscles down yonder. When I'm hungry, I pray and get food. When I'm sad, I pray and feel warm. When I'm in danger, I pray and sometimes the danger will randomly decide not to be a danger, or sometimes I get to see an obvious miracle. I can't perceive how God feels about me, but He does take care of me and help out when I ask. And I'm not sure if it's just because I have faith, or if it's something cool like being friends. But I love Him for sure. And I want people to stop saying bad things about Him, because, like I said, He is super duper nice. For all my flaws, He has always been there for me. Even when people let me down, He doesn't.
