Breakfast For Your Soul

A man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother.

[Proverbs 18:24]

******

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord is doing: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you.

[John 15:13-15]

Good Morning Beloved,

I heard a song this morning that captured my soul.  You know when your soul is captured, you just can’t shake the thing.  The thought that got me was by Rance Allen “Closest Friend”…

Closest Friend to the end through thick and thin You have been

there for me

You’re my closest Friend

It is a blessing to have good friends.  You have probably have heard me say that many times.  I have some of the best in the world.  What is even better is that we have an eternal Friend, who happens to also be our Lord and Savior.  The real Master of the Universe… King of all kings.. completely Sovereign Ruler of Heaven and earth… He died to make us free, and He is not ashamed to call us His friends.  I received an email yesterday from ‘Classmates.com’.. you know them right?…. they can connect you –for a small fee of course– to old school chums.  I thought about the friends I had in high school.  The sweet motley crew of ‘unacceptables’.  They were cool to me because they were completely comfortable in their own skin, and if others did not like them because the didn’t wear the latest, or fit into some ‘thing’ like everyone else… oh well.  Really nice people.  They made a situation that could have be completely miserable bearable, but I haven’t seen those folks in many, many years.  I moved and we lost touch.  That is the way it is sometimes.  People come and people go.  Jesus is the only friend who can actually make good on His promise to “never leave nor forsake us”, and one day, sooner than we think, He is going to take us by the hand, lead us to God and say, “Father, meet My friend… this is the one We’ve been waiting for”…

….. and that Beloved … is Good News!

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Day

Regina
