I want to take the time to thank all of my real, true, genuine friends. God has blessed me with some amazing people. Each one serves a different function. I have a friend who listens to everything I say, rarely interrupts, doesn’t try to solve the problem, but doesn’t let me get away with being evil either. I have another friend who never fails to help me love me for me, who will wallow with me and lift me right back up all at the same time. I have a couple of friends who always seems to know when I need support and when I need to be left alone, who are generous and selfless, and who I think believe in me more than I do. I friends that I know pray for me even if we don’t talk for a while, who hold me accountable to God’s standards without being preachy. I have some friends who seems to smile no matter what is going on, who can just brighten the day by being around; we don’t have to do a whole lot of talking, but we just get along.
This is a just a sampling of some of my closest friends. I have many others, who, though we always think of each other, our schedules never seem to jive; yet, I know they have my back and we love each other with a love that no one else could understand. Some of my friends are related to me, some of my friends are just as close as family. Regardless of the bloodline, one thing is true of me and all of my friends, we are better together. My friends are pretty awesome people on their own, but when we combine, we are unstoppable! Not to slight any of those friends, but there is one Friend, who has and will always be there for me. He is the only friend of mine that I can say for certain would lay down His life for me because He already did. I can’t even imagine why He would want to be my friend. I am so unworthy of the kind of love, grace and mercy that He shows; nonetheless, He still calls me friend. With Him, I am at my best. Apart from Him, I exist, but my existence has very little meaning. I am so very grateful to God for my very best friend, Jesus Christ, and for all of my other friends. We are just better together!
