Hmmm ... interesting ... good. And just leave him do the talking.<br /><br />Better stop now ...

The first thing that went through my mind as I read these questions was not so much that we would lower God to friend status, but that He wants to raise us to what true friendship is with Him and in Him. I think we attain that friendship as we strive to answer yes to all parts of these questions.<br />Thanks and God bless.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124468084334204166noreply@blogger.com
