Devotional: My Friend

100_1848"You are my friends if you do what I command," Jesus said in John 15:14. So, how is your friendship with Him these days? He is here to open His arms if you've been far off and are seeking to draw near again; and He's even closer as you are living in obedience as a friend.

There is never an age too young or old to know God's presence. Nor is there a person too tall, thin, short or fat to get to heaven. Isn't that refreshing? The list goes on here... We don't have to worry about how we fit in with Jesus by the standards of this world and our outward appearances, things and material possessions. He is more interested in our hearts and our intentions, amen.

Reflection: Thankfully God is a merciful, loving and forgiving God who wants to bless us. Think about your life and what the Lord has done for you. Take a moment to thank Him for never giving up on you; for drawing near and for being a friend... for not judging you on the outer parts, but the inner most precious-your heart.

Prayer: Thank you Jesus for your friendship and for your help in our times of need. Thank you for your standard and for giving us hope and protection always as we look to you.

Side Note: Notice the above baby ring sling? It is my absolute favorite and my daughters too. I just love the versatile fabric options that are offered as well. Let me know what you think.
