Who’s Your Best Friend?
Jules has asked the entire internet “Who’s Your Best Friend” I think this is a great question, and I’ve been chewing on what to say since she posted late last night. I could write volumes about my best friend, because He is just so amazing.
My Best Friend is very wealthy. There is nothing He doesn’t own. He uses his wealth to send me gifts, all the time. He sends material things that I need, and a lot of what I want as well. He also sends less tangible things, gifts of laughter and love and affirmation.
My Best Friend is quite a writer, too. He wrote me an incredible love letter, and I like to read it over and over. Sometimes I forget to look at it, but whenever I need wise counsel, I just pull that letter out and His great advice is in there. When I need comfort, that’s in His letter as well. It’s like a written buffet, with one delightful dish after another all designed to feed my soul.
My Best Friend is patient with me. I often do things that I know grieve Him, and He forgives me over and over again. He loves to talk to me, and even when I get rushed and harried and forget our appointments, He still loves me, and waits eagerly for me to come spend time with Him.
My Best Friend is always thinking of me. I’ve been on His mind since the beginning of time. From before I was born, He loved me so much that He’d be willing to die for me. And then He did. His name is Jesus, and He would love to be Your Best Friend, too.
Amen.
Beautiful.
That’s beautiful Cass. Your faith inspires me.

[...] 2. I have known about Christ all my life, and accepted Him as My Savior as a child. But it was not until I was in my mid-20s that I really began to get to know Him. And only in the last couple of years that I have begun to understand what grace, mercy and love really are. For many years, I read “there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus”, and while my head read the words, my heart did not grasp the meaning. Life in Christ is life in freedom. He loves me. He loves me. He loves me. Yes, even me. With all my failings, and all my sins and all my shortcomings, He loves me. It is His strongest desire to give me life and give it to me more abundantly. It was when I began to understand this, the enormity of it, that I understood that all those promises in the Bible were for me. Not for other people, good people, but for me. Just as I am, right now. And the beauty of it is that even though He loves me just like I am, He loves me too much to leave me that way. I’ll direct you to another post about My Best Friend. [...]
