I went to go visit my best friend last weekend. I was traveling a hundred or so miles to visit him and I was going to stay with him. When I got there I couldn't get a hold of him and had to rent a hotel room. I prayed allot that the Lord would reveal my friend to me. I remember being mad a few times during the weekend that I couldn't get a hold of him. I knew something had to be wrong for him too not get back to me. During those days he was missing I prayed but I also played scenarios in my mind where he called me out of the blue with some stupid excuse and I would always get mad in my head. I'm ashamed of those thoughts as I should be overjoyed with any news from him. Three days after I got there I finally was able to find out that hew had been incarcerated the whole time. He is still in jail so prayers would be appreciated, I'm still not sure what he did. The point of this whole story is that the first thought I had when I found out he was in jail was if I could lie and become his alibi. I realized my love and devotion to my friend would put me at odds to our Father in Heaven and his plans. It's a tough lesson for me, I want to be the friend who can be counted on to make everything right. The problem is I'm not the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, nothing is done through me with out first going through Him. I can not save anyone, If you stand with me you stand against the Lord. I like allot of people have a personal code, unfortunately some of the rules I follow are against God's Law.
I'm just a sinner, I am not worthy of the Lord's Love but he has given it too me any way. I love and thank Jesus for all that I have.
