True Friends.

Sorry that I haven't blogged in awhile. I have been under the weather and just not very well. I will try to be better about getting this updated more often. If you are anything like me friends mean a lot to you. They can almost decide who you are for you if you aren't careful. I am sure all of you have at least one very close friend that knows basically everything about you and your life. Nothing wrong with that at all. I do that too. I have a question for you though. Do you tend to turn to this friend for advice and comfort more than you turn to God? In the scripture God makes it so clear that he should be our number one friend that we turn to for ANYTHING!
You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. John 15:14-15.
Wow. God calls us friends. Not only are we his children but he thinks of us as so much we are his friends too. Everyone use to feel really distanced from God. But then he send Jesus for us. Jesus came to earth as human, the Son of God. The only perfect human that ever walked this Earth. He came to share the love of his Father. He wanted to give us a chance. Because of Adam and Eve we aren't in a perfect relationship with God. We sin. But now we have Jesus. Then Jesus died on the cross. He died so we could have a second chance. Through his death we can believe that Jesus is the son of God and died especially for US. He died so we could have this relationship with God. He doesn't ever want anything to seperate us from God. Including the world and other friends. I am not saying having a great friend to talk to is a bad thing either. Just make sure you are turning to God when you need to. He is the one that will get you through all of this and help you because life is gonna be tough. Friends usually tell each other everything. God has told us all that he has. It is right there in his word. We just have to read it and have understanding over it. Shouldn't we be telling him everything? Even though he already knows it he still wants to hear it from us. Just try to get into that awesome relationship with God were you know to always go to him first. Kailee Elaine
