Don’t let the demands of legalistic Christianity blind you to the incredible friendship that a Loving Father and his Son want to have with you.
The friendship Jesus shared with his disciples was the model for the relationship he extends to you. He wants to be the voice that steers you through every situation, the peace that sets your troubled heart at rest, and the power that holds you up in the storm. He wants to be closer than your dearest friend and more faithful than any other person you’ve ever known.
I know it sounds preposterous. How can mere humans enjoy such a friendship with the almighty God who created with a word all we see? Do I dare think he would know and care about the details of my life? Isn’t it presumptuous even to imagine that this God would take delight in me, even though I still struggle with the failures of my flesh?
It would be so if this were not his idea. He’s the one who offered to be your loving Father- sharing life with you in ways no earthly father ever could.
Excerpt from Chapter 2 of He Loves Me
I was looking forward to session 2 of He Loves Me as the first session was dominated by a few that wanted to express their problems rather than the book.
Do we have to wait until you get back from your second trip.
As I can’t zoom into your on line discussion I watched the first one after the event that you kindly sent via your email you were great but others boring will you be doing that again via email PLEASE.
Hi Gail, I actually enjoy people bringing their struggles to this book. That’s why we’re having the discussion so people can sort out how they, too, can participate in an intimate friendship with Jesus. Bringing our questions and story to it is an import part of that.
