Whoever came up with the saying,"that a dog is man's best friend?" Dog make good pets. Dogs provide a service. Dogs sometimes act as a protector. But I have never placed them in the category of being a best friend.
When you think about a friend; I think about a confidant. I think about a constant presence. I think about a counselor. I think about a companion.
As I have walked this journey, I think about my relationship with Jesus Christ. He promised to be my best friend. In fact his word says, "I will be a friend that sticks closer than a brother." Over and over again, He has proven to be that type of friend. One who accepts me warts and all. One who encourages me even when life is tough. One who comforts me in moves of despair. One who give me joy in moments of triumph. Have you had a similar experience with the love Jesus has for you and me?
The song writer says it best. "There not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No not one! No not one!
Say So Doctor! It has been my experience that We are told to "Look to the Hills"-toward Christ since an omnipotent God already knows that His followers are on different levels and He has anointed them with different gifts and talents to be able to carry out HIS purposes in the world. In our quest for relationships, again I have experienced that it is best to stand firm upon HIS Holy Word and focus on building and maintaining that as PRIMARY...BELIEVING and TRUSTING that CHRIST can-more than that-DESIRES to BLESS HIS CHILDREN with ALL GOOD THINGS!including fruitful relationships!
IN CHRIST'S service-AGAPE LOVE,
