Great Friend

We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
- Abraham Lincoln

Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest kin. ~Proverbs 18:24

What is sometimes called by religion as conversion
is often only the discovery of God as a friend in need.

What is sometimes called religion is often only the experiencing of the help and strength of God's power in our lives.

What is sometimes called holiness is often only the invitation of God to be our friend.

As God becomes our friend, we can become a friend to others.

We experience true human friendship and from this experience we can imagine what kind of a great friend God can be.

We can believe God to be a tireless, selfless, all conquering, miracle-working friend.

We can reach out to the Great Friend and figuratively take God's hand in ours.
