I am in a learning stage of life where each day that I live i face new areas of growth, mot in the physical but in the spirtual realm .. I do wonder what the lesson is that God has each and every morning when I role out of bed and get ready for class. It is a blessing to be in the arms of christ even when we are tried and feeling all alone.
I spoke with a friend today who has had that task, being my friend for over twenty years. I am blessed to have a person that tolorates my rambling mind that bounces from one page of life to another without a brake in the converstaion. How can I be so lucky to have a person that is that willing to put o=up with me on days that I know they are busy with “Stuff” but still he is willing to listen. I am convinced that my friend prays for Gods will in my life and His direction for me to travle. I was told that if you go through life with one best friend you are lucky, than I am off that chart because I have been blessed with five friends that I consider to be closer than family. These are my wisdom I run too when I need input, these are the accountability that I seek when a decision is to be made, these are my buddys that I would give my right arm and the shirt of my back if they needed it,(though it would probaly not fit!)
Friendship is underplayed in many lives and even sometimes taken advantaged of by some. I just do not understand. I do have to tell you about the best friend I have ever had. He gave up a great house with all kinds of servants to move in to where I lived. He was put through all kinds of grief just to be there when I needed Him. He made sacrifice after sacrifice just because he wanted to show how much he cared. He even died for my mistakes just so I could be free from sin. My best friend and savior,Jesus.
I pray that today if you do knot know my friend you get to know Him and learn to love Him like he loves you.
