        “You are My friend.  You come to Me in the morning hours; you seek My company.  Very few of My children give Me their undivided attention.  I understand they are busy, but how much they miss when I am squeezed in hurriedly amidst their list of priorities.  In My gentleness, I do not force the issue, but they do sadden Me.  I long to share eternal truths with My children to purify and enlighten them, yet they do not find time for Me.  I am ethereal to them, a God of the last minute when tragedies occur.  They do not know Me very well when they panic and turn to Me in time of trouble.  They are not fair weather friends; they are fearful weather friends.  They come running when life gets stormy.  When the storm passes, they have no more need for Me.  They do not realize what they are missing out on.

        Friends converse about everything; friends share special moments together; friends talk over problems and concerns; friends support each other in daily occurrences; friends laugh together; friends can read each other’s minds; friends share their gifts; friends become one in thought and purpose.

        I came to earth to befriend My children, to put on a human face that they could recognize.  I wanted to share Myself with each of them openly, displaying the Father’s love and tender mercy.  I became vulnerable, open, and transparent in My dealings with men.  How few have responded to My hand of friendship!

        You are My friend forever.  These moments alone with me cement our friendship in a holy bond of love.  You are not afraid of anything in life when you know I am next to you.

        You love Me and I love you!  Friends forever!”

 Jesus, Your Best Friend Forever
