Because I'm Jesus' Friend

I was looking through the files of my old website on Geocities and I came across this entry from February 13, 1999. I asked my 4-year old son, Josh, why he was so cute. His answer? "Because I'm Jesus' friend." He left to do something and recited softly to himself, "Yes, I'm Jesus' friend, yes, I'm Jesus' friend..." If only we are as sure of why we are so blessed. If only we knew that we are infinitely loved by our Father who is so full of compassion that He voluntarily left His beautiful home to become like us. Mother Teresa is one person who really knew the Father, I think. That's why she had no fear for herself, she did not need to protect herself, provide for her needs. She was so confident of God's love and provision that she was free to think of others. May the Lord gift us this Holy Season with this confidence which only He can give!
