“RELAX IN GOD’S PEACEFUL PRESENCE. Do not bring performance pressures into your sacred space of communion. When you are with someone you trust completely, you feel free to be yourself. This is one of the joys of true friendship. Though GOD is Lord of lords and King of kings, GOD also desires to be your intimate Friend. When you are tense or pretentious in your relationship, GOD feels hurt. GOD knows the worst about you, but GOD also sees the best in you. The LORD longs for you to trust GOD enough to be fully yourself with HIM. When you are real with GOD, HE is able to bring out the best in you: the very gifts GOD has planted in your soul. Relax, and enjoy your friendship with The LORD.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.” REVELATION 17 : 14
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. JOHN 15 : 13 – 15
Prayer: God help me to be completely myself and open as I spend time with you. Ready for what you have for me each day. I’m in awe that the creator of the universe, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords wants to be my friend. What a privilege and an honor. Help me to take you up on that special offer. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
