I keep thinking I will never have it good again...and then God reminded me that Ive had it great...I just wasn't seeing it. Not only have I made some good friends here...God also gave me a WONDERFUL family, and 4 amazing kids who LOVE to hang out with me!!
While my husband is my BEST friend...he is often gone, and that can be hard...but guess what...I AM A FRIEND OF GOD!! He calls ME friend! Amazing huh? So that lead me to read this scripture...
John 15:13-15
(13)And here is how to measure it-the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends. (14)You are my friends if you obey me. (15)I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
So my thought is this...I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and embrace my friendship with God!! Thank you Lord for giving us Your word to help us through the tough times in our lives. Not only your word, but your friendship!
Amen!! What a refreshing post to read! I've missed so many friends and family members too, but it's awesome that Jesus is our constant friend that is ALWAYS right there!
