Good morning to everyone. Grace and peace be with you.
What is a best friend?
All through social media you will get cartoons and clips about what a real friend is or what a best friend is. They are hilarious in nature and have some underlying truth to them.
A best friend is someone that you can call when you need them, even though you have not spoken to in years. A best friend will pick up the phone and just listen to you breath … no matter what time it is. A best friend sees you for all that you are and all that you are not … and loves you for who you are. They see you. A best friend will tell you the truth knowing that it may hurt you, but knowing that you will understand because it is coming from them and you will at least hear them. A best friend will hold you close when you need it and give you distance when you need that. A best friend is a blessing.
We all have this best friend. Some are blessed to have one of these friends on earth. But the One that we share … Jesus … he is the ultimate best friend.
Jesus looks for us. He looks around the preppy crowds, the outcast crowds, the hooked in crowds, and all the other crowds. Emo…he looks. Drug addicts … he looks. Alcoholics … he looks. Church members…he looks. Rich…he looks. Poor … he looks. Your social status has no bearing on if he wants to be your best friend. He loves everyone.
We all know the story of the 99 that he left to find the 1. How incredible is that. But what about this … What about the fact that out of millions and millions and millions of choices …. He chose me. He chose you. And once you accept his friendship … you are best friends for eternity. He never quits loving you and seeking you out. Especially when you are the one who strayed from the 99.
Best friends are essential in life. Some are blessed to have earthly ones. I am one such person, however, we all are blessed with one that out does my bestie…He is everywhere and knows me better than I know me. No matter how many times I get mad at Him, he still welcomes me home to his presence.
I want to encourage you to seek his face and truly submit to his friendship. When my earthly bestie is unavailable (not very often) or I choose to leave her out of the equation (more often than above), my heavenly bestie is already there. He is already poised and ready for me to crawl in to his arms and share my burdens and my joys. It is amazing.
Be blessed today my friends.
***I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. – Psalm 7:17
