The word for today is - Friend !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Friend !

 

When you think about a true friend, what comes across your mind__? A true friend will comfort and support you at all times and will be true to you! Also, a true friend loves at all times, read Proverbs 17:17, A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. We were created to be friends right from the beginning of time. Friendship began at the start in the Garden of Eden, when God created us, it was His intent to maintain intimate fellowship. God walked with them and God talked with them, but then the friendship was broken.We have some true friends who will stand with us through it all, and others will be a friend intil things start looking bad, and then they will walk away. A true friend will walk with you to the end. Many people know about the story of Ruth in the bible, if you don't know the story read it! The mother-in-law,Naomi had said to Ruth her daughter- in-law,your sister-in-law is going back to her people follow her. In other words she was saying, Ruth you should do the same thing, but no Ruth stayed right beside Naomi. Do you understand what, I'm saying? Well Ruth would not leave her mother- in -law when things start going bad. Naomi's husband had died, then her two sons died. Her mother-in-law told her to go back to her people, but Ruth said, No don't urge me to leave you or to turn away from you! Can you hear the Spirit in Ruth? Naomi heard Ruth’s Loyalty to her, and they walked away together ! How many people would do this __? When you read this story you will understand that God had a plan all the time for Ruth and Naomi, something greater in stored  for their future.Read Ruth 1:16-17,And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you: for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge: your people shall be my people, and your God my God:Where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me. Wow!  Ruth had favor giving to her by God and no one could take it away ! All we need to do is trust Him, through it all!  Read Proverbs 18:24,A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Thank you lord for calling us friends! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
