Forever Friends!

Not too many of those these days. A forever friend is someone who will not leave you no matter what you say or do. They know when you are having a bad day and when you are having a good one by the look on your face and the tune of your voice.
Forever friends will not only be there to laugh with you, they’ll be there to fight with you, and cry with you. They’re the type that no matter how long it’s been since you’ve seen each other, always seem to be able to connect again as though nothing has ever changed.
Sometimes it takes a hard time for you to truly see who are your forever friends. My mom found out when she had a miscarriage when I was ten. She was so thankful for her forever friends, who cried with her as they prayed together. I found out who my forever friends were after I had started to walk away from what I knew was right because I thought I wouldn’t have any friends. My forever friends didn’t pressure me to be like them and were there for me when I came back.
The Bible has so many examples of forever friends. But one of my favorites is between God and Abraham. How awesome to be the friend of the one who promises never to leave us nor forsake us. If you have been born again, then you too have that privilege of direct access to God at anytime, anyplace and for anything. He will be your very best friend. He’s even called Jehovah Shammah, which means: The Lord Is There.

Today, thank him for the Forever Friends. And thank him also for your own friendship. Even though we’ve messed up so many times, he still loves us! He is the ultimate Forever Friend!
