By Your Side

As of late, it seems like everything has been making me upset. I think that it's largely based on the fact that my birthday is in three weeks. Everyone seems to be having a birthday lately. And of course my Newsfeed is flooded with, "OMG GIRLY, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAYYYYYY. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LET'S HAVE SLEEPOVERS AND REMEMBER ALL THOSE INSIDE JOKES WE HAVE?"

So yeah. It's jealousy. I miss having a girl best friend. But I also know that I'm not discontent malcontent uncontent with who I hang out with now and in what quantities. I think I just miss the girly companionship thing...giggly, girly companionship. Which I think may be kind of shallow. So, of course, my quiet time a few days ago was about how I'm a friend of God. The Almighty, Infinite God of the Universe is my friend. He doesn't want me to be upset. He wants me to tell Him secrets and go places with me and show me little ways that He's thinking about me. He's always right beside me. He wants to be my best friend.

I don't need to be upset by people who have hurt me in the past. I don't need to hold grudges. In fact, I don't need any friends but God. However, He created us to be people who need relationships. But we can't fully enjoy these relationships until He is our number one relationship. It's all about priorities. What do yours look like?

I was reading about that too! In my utmost for his highest. It's an amazing thought that the God of the universe wants to be our friend.

You know girly, I felt that same way a couple of months ago. I am so glad God is revealing this to you. ♥ Even though most of the time we really don't want to learn the hard way, God still loves and continues to love even though we think we are lonely.
