"Therefore to the soul that of His special grace seeth so far into the high, marvellous Goodness of God, and seeth that we are endlessly oned to Him in love, it is the most impossible that may be, that God should be wroth."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 49)
God is always our Friend, always, always, always. He is the Person we can count on to always be there for us, always support us, always cheer us on, always believe in us. He is the One we can count on to always love us, care about us, understand us, be on our side and by our side. We are oned to Him in love, the highest bond of friendship. When we feel we are friendless, we aren't, because we always have this Friend like no other to walk through anything with us and always have our back. Looking at Him, seeing how He is just pure goodness and pure love, seeing how we are bonded together in friendship with a bond nothing can break, we see that there is no way God could ever be angry with us. No matter what we do or how we fail, even if we turn our back on Him, He won't turn His back on us. He won't reject us, won't leave us, won't get irritated with us. He is our Friend. We just cannot change God's demeanor towards us. His demeanor is unfailingly loving, open, tender-hearted, accepting and loyal. He is loyal to us and at peace with us no matter what. He is only one way - friendly. That is His permanent way of being and His eternal character. That is just who He is. That is what His love means, what it means to say that "God is Love" - it means we always have a Friend in God!
"A friend loves at all times."
Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)
"Love is patient and kind....It is not irritable."
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (NLT)
A Prayer: You are the best Friend I could ever have. Thank You for never getting irritated or angry with me. Thank You for always extending kindness and love to me!
