I Am A Friend of God

I always look forward to Saturday morning. I typically take Ebony for a ride to Starbucks early in the morning. (That’s where I am as I write this) Who is Ebony? That’s my jet black Harley Road King. Sometimes I call her Beauty. Vicky calls her the “other woman”! Anyway, I digress. As I was riding early this morning, the words to a popular contemporary Christian song was on my heart. “Who am I that You are thinking of me? That You love me?” The answer: “I am a friend of God! He calls ME friend!” I was singing to the top of my lungs as I rode through the Carolina countryside.

Isn’t that an awesome thought? The Creator God of the universe is my personal friend. He knows ME! He knows my name. He knows where I live. He knows all about my trials & burdens. He calls ME friend!!

In John Chapter 15, Jesus reminded the disciples of this truth when He said “you are no longer servants, but friends.” It doesn’t matter how difficult life becomes. Knowing that God is my friend puts everything else into proper perspective.

Are YOU a friend of God? He is available. He desires your friendship. He’s standing by today, waiting for you to proclaim, “I AM A FRIEND OF GOD!” Have a great weekend! I love you!
