Lately Ashley has been asking me if i would still be her friend if she then she would fill in the blank with some outrageous thing. Some of her examples were things like ...if i went to the bathroom on your face, if i cut off your arm, if i pierced your abdomen with a knife, if i killed your family and other random things like that. My answer to all of them were pretty much yes you would be. given i would have alot to get over and she might not be my closest friend but she would still be my friend. One time i even asked her if she would be a friend if she did any of that.
All that to say i have been doing alot of thinking about friendships and how in a sense my loyalty to me friendships is like Christ's loyalty to us.
Once we accept christ he is in us and with us FOREVER and will NEVER leave us. this is something that we has humans just cannot fathom. We just don't get the fact that there is nothing we can do that will change Christ's decision on weather or not he would leave us. He said we are his and we will always remain his no matter what we do.
I have noticed how i treat my friendships the same way. There is only one thing that one of my friends can do that will not be there friend and that is simply ask me not to be their friend. that doesn't mean that i won't forever care about them but if that is what they truly want then that is what i will give them.
So in my own little way i know what Christ means when we are his forever and always.
