"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete. This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[ sin." (1 John 1:1-7) (NIV)
Good Morning Oddballers,
Today is a pretty odd day, but I want to just chat about friendship a little bit. Since the verse is pretty long this morning, I want you guys to read it over a couple times, and then read my post, just so that you guys have some sort of biblical context in regards to friendship.
What is it like to have a friendship with God? Honestly, I know it's pretty awesome. He's a friend that will never leave you any reason...who can beat that??? Seriously.
Friends are this really intense companionship with someone that I can't honestly put into words. It's this "knowing" that they are there for you and they will not betray you. You get a sense of peace, serenity, and safety when one is around them. Usually, the feelings near them are almost always positive.
Where would the world be if friends didn't exist?? I don't even want to think about it really. The idea of not having my best friends would most likely leave me with a broken and empty heart, with no drive to continue anything I started. Imagine not having a friendship with God....I don't even think I can even think fully on how terrible it would be to not have him. To not be in fellowship with the almighty God isn't even negotiable at this point for me. Honestly, God is one of my best friends, I would die for him. Really. I would.
So today, I just want you to think about who you consider your friend, and why they are your friend. Then correlate those traits with God. I'm pretty sure he has all of them. :D
Much Love and God Bless,
Oddball
