A friend of God.
In one of the most famous and blessed song sung by David Phelps “End of the beginning”, there’s a wonderful truth about Who God is to us….
“And for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.”
The fact that God could be a friend is something unusual(even though unknowingly many have made their friends as their God-for God is someone who influences you the most and is the most important person in your life, and thus many are driven by their friends).
The very mention of the Word ‘God’ creates a reverential fear and respect about someone Who is all powerful and dwells much beyond our finite capacity.
Yet, this is what Jesus said…
“No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.”
John 15:15 (NKJV)
The very purpose of God is not to instill fear amongst His children, rather to fill their hearts with love for Someone(God Himself) Who is most near and easily accessible.
How far is God from us?
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Psalms 46:1 NKJV
He is very near-just a prayer away.
God is the best Friend we can ever have, if only this blessed fact may be known, believed and accepted by all, then we could avoid a lot of regrets in life. For due to the absence of such a good a perfect Friend, we often find ourselves gripped in the clutches of sin and deceit, we often find ourselves alone and abandoned.
What more can we ask for? For our blessed Creator volunteers to be our Friend, let’s accept the invitation, befriend Him and we will be assured of providence and victory in everything we do always.
God Bless,
Abraham
