Jesus is not my homeboy.
EDIT: We shouldn't change ourselves when we talk to God. We shouldn't talk to God "formally." (Feels like some people thought I was saying we need to, but this is a whole misunderstanding! God longs to be very close to us. If you call God your "homeboy," then that's your thing. For me, though, I just wouldn't refer to Him as that. But again, that's just me. God just cares about you. "Homeboy" is just a small detail. God doesn't change his love based on certain things. He loves us just because He IS love.
Jesus is not my homeboy. He's my Savior, my Father. I need to go to him in REVERENCE and not go to him disrespectfully. He is our friend, yes, but he is also our FATHER. He deserves the respect that he deserves!
God longs to be close to you, but he doesn't long to be disrespected!
