It's easy to assume we are taking on the mindset of God and going the right direction in our life. But would God agree? How do we treat others? Right now is our window of opportunity to show that we love God and our neighbor, to be cleaned up in repentance and to seek the Lord while He may be found. If we are busy doing and growing in His love, we will be His friend.
