FRIEND : Strong’s Hebrew #157: One who has absolute love: Divine love. Beloved, dearly loved, Lover, loves, to show love. Cherished one.

BFF : Best friend forever, one’s closest associate, ally, or supporter. Bosom friend. One you keep close to your heart.

BOSOM : Strong’s Greek #2859 kólpos – properly, the upper part of the chest where a garment naturally folded to form a “pocket” – called the “bosom,” the position synonymous with intimacy (union). (John 13:23 “Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.”)

BEST FRIEND : “A true best friend is rare. They are a person’s closest and dearest friend, a person’s most desirable or valuable possession. Someone you can trust with your life who has seen the best and worst of you and still loves you as you are. Someone who is in proximity to you and outstandingly provides for multiple needs and is irreplaceable in doing so.” (Merriam Webster)

“It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear. He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.” Psalm 18:32-33

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:1-10
