As the Feeling for a Friend

We finally saw that faith in some kind of God was a part of our make-up, just as much as the feeling we have for a friend. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 838-839).
God, our friend. Some kind of God,
but a friend. God as we understand him.
All the years I analyzed God, understood
about God, worshiped him, acknowledged him.
But the friendship? Not really. Knowledge of
doesn't equal acquaintance with.
Theology isn't relationship. I'm less sure now
what God is like, but that makes sense, too.
I can have a firm grasp on a public figure,
but my friends? They're tough to figure out!
