Friends are one of the greatest blessings this side of heaven.
This is what I thought the other day as I walked away from time with a friend.
A friend who knows you well, yet encourages you in the Lord.
A friend who knows nothing of competition, jealousies or other girl drama.
A friend who knows the Lord so sweetly that time with them is like conversing with the Lord.
I wondered as I walked away that heaven must be a small glimpse of what I just experienced.
Complete, unconditional love and acceptance, encouragement, and joy.
Unselfishness and pure motives.
What a blessing the Lord gave me that day, and spurs me to be that to others.
What a difference the Church would look like if all our relationships reflected these qualities.
It would truly be heaven on earth.
Inspiring..... loved this post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing....and I am so glad He gives us those glimpses...it allows us to look forward to heaven also...while still bringing heaven here on earth with our relationships
ReplyDeleteBlessings on your counseling this year...I have a precious friend from elementary school who does that also and I love hearing how God uses her.
