My Best Friend In Holy White Garments

Throughout my seventeen years of life, I've always been in search of a bestest friend and mind you, I have high expectations. Eventually, I evaluated that the one who fits most of the criteria would be my spouse because she's gonna be with me for the rest of my life on earth. That was my blindspot.

Actually, there is someone who has been there all my life, observing everything I did.
"You may not know me, but I know everything about you." Psalms 139:2.
He is one who is familiar with all my ways.(Pslams 139:3)
He knew me before I was conceived.(Jeremiah 1:4-5)
He watches me sleep and rise up.(Pslams 139:2)
And He is there all the time.
His Name is the mightest throughout all the earth and heavens. Even the mountains bow down and declare His holiness. His Name is the sweetest above all names, yes, His Name is Jesus.

Sometimes I wish Jesus was human and not spirit. Sometimes I wish I can hug Him whenever I want, wherever I want and talk to Him anytime and He would converse with me clearly. How I long to desire that kind of fellowship. It was just recently, that these lyrics and words struck me.
"who was and is and is to come."
True enough. Jesus was with me from my past, He is with me right now and there will come a time when I'm going to meet Him face to face, no physical barriers or whatsoever. When that time comes I'll no longer be human, I'll be spirit and I shall meet, talk and touch Jesus.

I want to thank Jesus for His love for me. You have been always there throughout my troubled times, Your heart ached when I teared. You were there with me during my lonely times and You would touch my hardened heart with Your everlasting love. From the very start, You had the desire to lavish Your love on me.(1 John 3:1). Your thoughts of me are as countless as the sand on the shore.(Psalms 139:17-18). One day, You will wipe away all my tears.(Revelations 21:3-4) and that You ain't counting my sins.(2 Corinthians 5:18-19). Above all things, Your death was the ultimate expression of Your love for me.(1 John 4:10). You endured all the pains, rejections, ridicule and You carried my burdens on that cross. It was I who pinned You there but You didn't mind dying for me so that I could be with You together and always. It was not the nails that held You there but it was Your love for me. How great is Your love. No one can compare to you.

Before my birthday, Jesus told me that I'm gonna have the most special birthday which I ever had in my seventeen years of life. Quite true, I wasn't expecting many people to remember my birthday but it turned out to hit the record. The surprising thing is I don't have many presents on that day but the presents are coming in as belated which means they can come anytime, out of the blue, unexpected. That's the surprise. I like.

Throughout all my life, You have always been there. You are the One who can fulfill all my desires and expectations. I love You. You are my Best Friend and You will always be. Nothing can ever change that fact. Amen.

Dear Father in Heaven, thank You for sending down Your precious Son, Jesus to die for me on the cross. I'm truly grateful. More than anything, I want to desire to know Jesus more and more. May You baptize me with the Holy Spirit so that nothing will go wrong in my life. I commit myself into Your loving hands. Mould me, oh God. Let me be reminded the presence of Jesus everytime. I want to fall deeper and deeper in love with You. In Jesus' sweetest name I pray, Amen.

To my eternal friends: you all know who you are. Really thank God for knowing each and every of you and the happiest thing is that we are going to spend the rest of eternity with each other. thank you all for ur prezzies and prezzies to come. Truly appreciate them. Thank God for these gifts. Pray for each other and encourage each other throughout the hard times k? Draw closer to God.

To my friends who belong to the lost flock: Know my Jesus and you'll see what happens.

There's currently no song stucked in my head.
