At the end of a challenging day, God brought together two people.
Before the skies could become dark, smiles had been exchanged.
Christian friends with no idea they were about to be friends at all.
Doesn’t God always wonderfully like to surprise us like that?
Every day is new with friendships that God has designed.
Fortunate for me, Linda was chosen to be my God given friend.
God is so generous to be as loving as He is.
How else would I have gotten to know someone so amazing?
I would not have without God’s hand in it all.
Just think.
Keeping secrets from us, allows God to spoil us.
Linda was a secret God had kept from me.
Molding her and me to be so fond of one another, we were unaware of God doing so.
Now, I have a good female Christian friend that I know only God Himself has sent to me because only God Himself knows exactly of what and how Linda is made, of what and how I am made, and how Linda and I fit so perfectly into one another’s life, and just at a time that only He could know would be perfect, a time when only He knows that we need each other, when we have absolutely no idea how much we need someone…specifically each other, nor even know why… you know what I mean… in God’s good timing.
Only God can plan such things because only God knows these things.
People are so quick to say it is fate.
Quick to say it is luck.
Rarely do we give our great Jehovah God His credit…His praise.
So let me say it as it should be said.
Thanks are given to my God for my friend Linda.
Uniquely created to be my friend, I am blessed by the hand of God Himself.
Victory is Jesus comes to mind.
What a Friend we have in Jesus.
X out all that Satan tries to feed us about not getting too close to people.
You, oh God, are in those You bring to us.
Zion awaits us all.
