WELL - As I sit here in Joburg, South Africa - I am singing I am a friend of God, I am a friend of God and I just can't believe he calls me friend.
This is the exciting part of this lesson today - knowing that I am a friend of God. I am so humbled and proud to finally get that God wants to be my friend. Today reading the blog I felt God close to me saying I am your friend. I was overtaken with joy. I kept thinking I just can't believe that you would want to be my friend. God is so good to me.
While reading the devotional for today, what caught my attention most is that friendship with God requires obedience. This really started me to thinking. Most times the people that I obey I don't always consider friend. I respect them and love them but don't always think of them as friends. Now that I have a better understand of obedience being a way to get as close to God as he wants to be to me. I have decided that I am going to do what God says do when he says do it. I am sure none of you are like me but sometimes I am a little slow to act when God says so. I am slow because of fear mostly. Sometimes, I think I can't do what God has asked me to do or sometimes I just don't want to do what God has asked me to do. Ok, I said it sometimes I don't want to do what God has asked me to do. I can't believe the words that I have put in this blog but it's true. However, after understanding that obedience is apart of being God's friend and I am a friend of God. I am ready and willing to just do what he tells me to do even if I don't want to or if I am afraid.
Ok, I've got to get ready for my day here in Joburg but let me hear from you. I want to know how being God's friend has motivated you to serve him.
Peace and Blessings,
