In God's Heart I Am???




I saw this video, at a blog that I just love, The Gypsy Mama. Along with the suggestion to write what I am in God's heart... The first thing that came to my mind is, 

a friend...
I think the words came in a form of comfort, because I often don't think I am a good enough friend to my friends (including family - my last post "What it means to Truly Love ~ Bridge the Gap" will explain some of why I feel this way). Being a friend is something that has always been very important to me. But life gets so busy, and sometimes feel like I don't do enough.

I told this to one of my friends a couple of days ago while we were running together. I couldn't say much, because she quickly and firmly stopped me in my tracks:
"That's NOT true!"
Hearing this tone from her really shocked me; she is so sweet! "It's not?" I asked... I found myself surprised again, to hear another firm and resolute answer that went something like this.;
"No. I think you are one of the most... ?? It is amazing the way you are there for your friends! You are always there for people I think you are very good at being a friend!"
I suppose that is why "a friend" came to mind. I really HOPE my friend is right; I hope that my Heavenly Father thinks so, too, and that if He doesn't yet... He will. Even with family who live miles away!

    Great! And it's so great for us to have friends who see us as we are so they can help us see it.

    I think this is wonderful. What would we be without our friends? Thank you for being such a good new friend to me!

    I wonder ... am I my Savior's friend? I hope I will be someday.

    Thanks Patty Ann! I think you are a marvelous friend, too! :) I REALLY do!

    Valerie - Amen! We are so hard on ourselves sometimes!!! Friends are indispensable sources of truth! :)

    Ginger, Thank you so much! I'm really very excited to have you for a friend! :D

    Laura, It is awesome that you should mention this. I didn't write anything in my blog about being a friend to Christ, but as I wrote this post I thought of the dual meaning of "a friend." I imagined Christ telling me that I am a friend to others, as well as to Him. I do consider Him a friend - the best friend I could ever ask for. And I know He considers you and I friends, too; because we are... we love Him! Thanks so much for your comment, friend. :)

    Friends truly define our lives...I can 'sense' that you are a true and loyal friend. Thanks for the great words today!

    I'm jumping on the "You are a great friend" bandwagon as well! Talk to the hand!

    Remember when we look in a mirror it does not reflect our soul, only the outer shell that is constantly needing improvement. :)

There is a ripple effect in all that we do; what you do touches me, what I do touches you...
