I Have A Friend In God
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.
John 15:12-14
The Lord blessed me with my best friend, Misti, for over 30 years. We met each other in the 4th grade and instantly became friends. We shared many memories together such as braces, pimples, boyfriends, weddings, and childbirth. We also experienced very difficult times together, such as teenage arguments, death of loved ones, and moving away from each other. All through these transitions our friendship stayed strong. I knew that Misti was a friend I could trust, who would listen, and always provide the encouragement I needed.
The Lord called Misti home to be with Him in Heaven not long after we hit our 40’s. Dealing with the loss of my best friend was very difficult, but God was always there to bring me peace and comfort. My tears of sorrow would soon turn to joy, knowing I was truly blessed by a great friend.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is also our friend. He will always be by our side. Nothing can separate us from Him.
No circumstance
No distance
No hardship
Not even death
Have you given Jesus a chance to be your friend? He is waiting... Here I am. I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with Me (Revelation 3:20).
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for being my greatest friend and my God.
