THE SEED
“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” John 15:15
My best friend had to tell me many truths, and shine light on things in my life that were not so good. Naturally, this was painful for me to see, but since I did not see any other way out – and I really wanted to succeed at the thing I had set out to accomplish – I simply had to admit that my best friend was right. He was constantly encouraging me, and I knew the whole time that he cared deeply about me. By acknowledging the shortcomings he pointed out, and at the same time listening to the advice he gave me, I was enabled to accomplish the things I wanted to do. If fact, I became so fond of him that I decided that we would be best friends for life, and that I would always listen to his advice. Are you wondering who my best friend is? His name is Jesus Christ, and He can also become your best Friend and teach you how you can live a good and fulfilling life here on earth, so that later we will be able to be together with Him for all eternity. If you are sick and tired of your old life, and want to be happy every day, then listen to His advice and take His help to heart! I can personally testify that He has helped me to have a happy life, in which every day is interesting, rich, and rewarding! And best of all, I have a fantastic future to look forward to in life here on earth and after this life is finished, together with my Best Friend forever in all eternal glory and joy! PRAYER: Jesus, I declare You to be my best friend for all eternity.
