ARE YOU A FRIEND OF GOD?
By Mark Flippo
We know that God is our friend. Scripture says that there is no greater friend than he that would lay down his life for us. Jesus proved that at Calvary. But are you His friend? Can He talk to your heart and you will stop what you are doing and pray? Friends listen to one another. Can He impress you to go with Him to reach someone in need? Do you think before you do something to know if it will hurt Him?
Can you be trusted with something confidential not to gossip to others about? Will you rejoice when He rejoices? Will you weep over sinners the way He does? Do you try to make Him happy and proud of you? Do you know Him well enough to have Him close to you? The church is His body that is seen. Your words should be His words, for the world to hear. Are your desires His desires? We need to take a real look at ourselves. Do we measure up? Make me more like Him. Abraham was a man that HE called friend. He has many children but it is rare for Him to call someone His friend.
