You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. -John 15:14-15(NLT)
FRIENDS OF GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you want to be friends with the most powerful being?
The only way you can be his friend is if you are obeying
He no longer calls you slave if you become a follower
God will confide in you if you continue to be a believer.
You are a friend of God when you hunger for him
He will be faithful to deliver you from all sins
If you constantly abide in him and live in his truth
He will be your best friend and deliver you from rue.

Do you have many friends? Are they faithful and true to you? Human friends are good to have but sometimes they betray or let you down. Before I migrated to Canada, I had many friends from my country of origin. I don’t ever remember having arguments with any of my friends. They were there for me in good and bad times alike. I was confused when I moved to Canada because I can’t seem to have the kind of friends I had before. When I became a born again Christian, God overhauled my friendships. He gave me new friends who are believers. We become friends of God when we follow his commands.

So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. – Romans 5:11(NLT)
FRIENDS OF GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know God enough to say that he is your friend?
Abraham was called his friend because his faith didn’t bend?
What characteristics do you have that is like Christ?
Do you know him personally and his sacrifice?
Do you empathize with all his concern for the world?
Does his blood shed make you love his truth and his word?
So now rejoice in your wonderful status of friendship
It is an honor to be part of his perfect family and kinship.

How is God different from the Old Testament to the New Testament? In the Old Testament, we see God as the Almighty and powerful person. He loved his people so much that he delivered them from bondage and slavery. He promised them a land flowing with milk and honey. We also see how he punished the idolaters and those who turned their backs on Him. In the New Testament, the sacrifice on the cross totally changed our relationship with God. Because of Jesus’ perfect obedience and humility, God’s grace and mercy poured a million times more than before Christ became human. We became friends of God because of Jesus’ death on the cross. We can now rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God.
PRAYER
Make me worthy to be your friend, Lord.
REFLECTION
What kind of friendship do you have with God?
