My God is Amazing
Shh, Don’t tell anyone

In my life I have been blessed with great people who have been friends, supporters, storm wreckers, prayer warriors, cry ’till we laugh and laugh ’till we cry partners. They have been sunshine when clouds crowded in, smiles when frowns seemed so much easier, and pillows to cushion inevitable crash landings. They have stayed up all night with me just because we can, goofed and laughed and built amazing memories with me. They have stood with me on the court, field, and diamond and battled with me when a fight needed fighting. They have been my camp-mates, school-mates, play-mates, work-mates and church-mates. They have lead me, they have followed, me and they have stood right beside me. Some have come and stay fast and true, some have come and are still there on the edge, some have come and are gone – from my world but never my heart.

I pray that they all know they are crucial to me being me, important to me now and in memory. And I pray they all know they are loved. That when they experience joy I smile with them. When they are in pain or hurting, my heart aches for them. When they are in the midst of the storm, I stand in the rain with them. I pray they know in this world they are never alone, whether we talk daily, weekly, every once in a while, or even if we haven’t talked in a year (or since grade school). A shout out and I would be there – a shoulder / ear / or prayer away!

And as great as that all is — it is impossibly small compared to the love, friendship, and grace of our God who has been everything in perfection. Who waits only for us and whose gifts to us are greater than could ever be fathomed. I am God’s favorite… and so are you!
