A Blessed Thing


February 18


"A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults."
Charles Kingsley

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
Think how much the Father loves us.
He loves us so much that He lets us be called His children, as we truly are."
1 John 3:1

Oh, that the Body of Christ would behave in the way Kingsley describes.  To love others as Jesus loves us.  To see friendship as a gift to be treasured.   To forgive faster than we grumble and to put the needs of others before our own.  (Funny, that last one wouldn't be appropriate on an airplane in regards to the oxygen masks being dispensed!)

It is a blessed thing to have a friend who loves you well!
