This is the song I heard on the way home from work last night and it just touched my heart. It blows me away to think of God calling ME a friend. That's completely crazy to me!! But yet He does. He sees past all the junk, the way I act, the brat stamping her feet....and calls me His friend. That's astonishing. And you know what else? He calls you friend too !!
Psalm 8:3-5 When I look at the night sky and see the work of Your fingers--the moon and the stars You have set in place--what are mortals that You should think of us, mere humans that You should care for us? For You made us only a little lower than God, and You crowned us with glory and honor.
Psalm 139:17-18 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!
Matthew 11:19 And I, the Son of Man, feast and drink, and you say, 'He is a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of the worst sort of sinners! But wisdom is shown to be right by what results from it.
Matthew 27:50-51a Then Jesus shouted again, and He gave up His spirit. And that moment the curtain in the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
John 15:14-15 You are my friends if you obey me. 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.
Some Scriptures to think upon...
Lord, thank You for the amazing fact that You call me friend...I don't know where to go with it, it is just so incomprehensible to be, but awesome and wonderful at the same time. Thank You.
