Friends

I remember in high school I didn't have many that I would consider my friends.  I was well liked by most and everyone knew me in a positive light...but the "best friend"... I don't know that I truly had that growing up. 
I wonder if that's why it is so easy to commune with the Lord--He's been my only constant in my life.  He knows all my history and background.  I don't have to re-explain everything.

As I've continued into adulthood it has been such a blessing to have those good earthly deep friendships.  I'm so grateful for who God has put into my life...even though several of those good friends are far away--our bond is so much deeper as it is grounded in Christ.

God knew even in the beginning of creation how we needed each other as humans.  None of us can survive on our own.  Our dependence should be fully on Christ, but the need for others is still there. 

This past weekend I had the blessing of hanging out and visiting with two very dear friends of mine.  And talking with another via skype.  What blessed godly women He has put in my life.  They help me to be a better person and to want to glorify the Lord.  They help me to desire to know the Lord more.

Thank you Father for not only giving me Christ as a friend--but also your dear children here on earth.
