Day Twenty-eight

 Christ's Friendship: Its Intimacy

No Longer Do I Call You Servants; for the Servant Knows Not What His Lord Does: But I Have Called You Friends; for All Things That I Heard From My Father, I Have Made Known Unto You - John 15:15
The highest proof of true friendship, and one great source of its blessedness, is the intimacy that holds nothing back, and admits the friend to share our inmost secrets. It is a blessed thing to be Christ’s servant; His redeemed ones delight to call themselves His slaves. Christ had often spoken of the disciples as His servants. In His great love our Lord now says: "No longer do I call you servants"; with the coming of the Holy Spirit a new era was to be inaugurated. "The servant knows not what his Lord does" - he has to obey without being consulted or admitted into the secret of all his master’s plans. "But, I have called you friends, for all things I heard from my Father I have made known unto you." Christ’s friends share with Him in all the secrets the Father has entrusted to Him.~~ Andrew Murray

Day Twenty-five

 I am weary...wife full time ,mom full time and going to school full time...  I shall wait for the LORD! 




He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. 
(Isaiah 40:29-31 ESV)

Day Ten

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light. There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
(John 1:1-13 ASV)
