We sang a song in our services yesterday titled “I Am A
Friend of God.”
I am familiar with the song. We have sung it in our
services in the past and I have heard it on the radio a number of times. It’s a
nice song and I’ve always liked it.
Yesterday, however, the truth which this song conveys
gripped my heart in a way which has not occurred before. It’s sort of weird
because I am a Christian pastor. The idea that God thinks of me as His friend is
a biblical concept with which I am familiar. This is not a new idea to me.
But sometimes a truth we know becomes conscious to us and
relevant to us in a profound new way and we come to “know” it in a manner we
have not previously known it. I sat playing this song over and over on my
computer last night and my heart was rejoicing.
