John 15:13-15
Greater love
has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are
my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for
the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends,
for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
I am your best Friend, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand
with Me through your life. Together we will face whatever each day brings:
pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is
shared with Me. I can bring beauty out of the ashes of
lost dreams. I can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a
Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy.
There is no other like Me!
The friendship I offer you is practical and down-to-earth, yet
it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in My Presence means living in two
realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. I have
equipped you to stay conscious of Me while walking along dusty, earthbound
paths.
Isaiah 61:3
to grant to
those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
the oil
of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
that
they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.
2
Corinthians 6:10
as
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having
nothing, yet possessing everything.
