God My Best Friend

Religious books and leaders of faith all have a well-defined image of God and generally each of them argues to surrender everything on the altar of sacrifice. Being materialist and confused, and therefore ambitious, I have a slightly different reason for faith in God.
To me, God is a friend who helps people to define and refine their belief systems. God symbolizes to me the ultimate power watching my deeds (or depending on the frequency, misdeeds!) and yet not making a public mockery of my mistakes. His authority and subtlety of expression allows me to dispense half-hearted promises till those promises lose their mettle or till they turn firm and become my resolve.
God is my perfect friend, a listener with infinite patience, who never interrupts my cribs how many a times I might narrate them. He bears all my agony in all those small and big moments of suffering. God knows, just like I know, that my crib is against myself, against my ability to complete the promise that I make. Sensing my own unpolished desperation, God leaves me alone - never answering my irritation at His seeming unresponsiveness. As those moments of doubts (when my statements change like whirlwind) wither away, time tells what a fool I have been.
Yes desperation, dejection, humiliation, and temporal loss of hope occur to us all. My belief in the friendship of God ensures that I am not alone in those tender moments of doubt, insincerity, and insecurity. Need I ask more from any friend?
