What a friend...

“What a friend we have in Jesus.” “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body.” [Lk 12:4]. “You are my friends if you do what I command you.” [Jn 15:14]. “I have called you friends because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.” [Jn 15:15].
Have you ever REALLY thought about what the old hymn—and Jesus himself—is saying here? Isn’t a bit insane to believe that the Grand Architect of the
Universe, who constructed and set in their courses the planets, stars, galaxies, and even alternate universes, across which it would take light millions of years to travel— is my friend? That the designer of the intricate and infinitely complex human body really cares a whit about me? Please—isn’t it a bit beyond all reason that He who causes the sun to shine, the waves to roll, the corn to sway in the wind, the thunder to resound, has any personal interest in me—only one of seven thousand million people on earth? And yet we are asked to believe this. As for me, I DO believe, not “for the Bible tells me so,” but because He has told me so in many ways throughout my 86 years. There is simply no other
credible explanation for the blessings of my life, for the way good things have happened beyond all logical
explanation.
I believe I have witnessed true miracles. How about you?
