"So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God."
Romans 5:11 NLT When Jesus Christ laid down His life for me
& for you, His purpose is not just to save us from our sins but to made Heaven & earth become friends. Through Him, we can now be friends with our Abba Father. Yes, He died not just for salvation but also for friendship.
Isn't it too nice & sweet? That we can call the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the God Almighty - our real best friend?
Since friendship was made, we can now have a heart to heart talk with our Heavenly Father, we can also be authentic to Him – we dont need to hide our feelings, our pain, our troubles & our lives for He really
understands us even in the worst of pain.
He's always willing to listen to us without any judgment. Yes, no judgment. We can just come as we are. Minsan sa kaibigan mo, kailangan mo munang i-explain ang lahat para maintindihan ka nya, but in God, He understands our hearts even when we find difficulty to express ourselves.
"Kahit iyak lang, gets na Niya."
Above all your friends in this temporal world, let our Heavenly Father be your ultimate best friend He is our one-call away best friend. Siya 'ang kaibigan na hindi katatakbuhan bagkus ika'y kaniya pang dadamayan. Yung kaibigan na pipiliin ka sa araw-araw - pipiliin kang intindihin, unawain, mahalin at patawarin.
I hope & pray that we'll not waste the relationship Christ has paid on the Cross. Libreng makipagkaibigan kay Lord, lapit lang tayo sa Kanya. Wag mahihiya, bayad na 'to.
Kaya naman, let us not forget to appreciate Him in Your daily living! Okay? Grace be with you, Jireh.
