You are my friends if you do what I command. Jn15:14. Jesus calls you friend, He is not some mysterious force out in the cosmos, but a very real, up close, personal and relational God. He loves you so much, He knows your name, He calls you friend. He has given you everything you need to live a fulfilled life. Value God’s guidance with all your heart, as His gift to you are His commands, they are the keys to the kingdom, to eternal happiness, joy and a hope for the future that starts now. Don’t be downcast, or spend tome worrying, keep your eyes on Him and not your problems.  Draw near to Him, speak with Him, read His Word – His love letter to you, and speak with Him, then wait on Him as He will also speak into your spirit. Worship Him today and allow His tangible presence to come around You and lift you up. Never forget He loves you beyond measure, so spend time with Him each day, as a friend, one on one.
