As a friend (3)
God is not needy of my attention. But as a friend, he takes pleasure in chatting with me.

Dear Friend,
I was with you as you talked with your friends yesterday, and I hoped you would talk with me also. Then I gave you a lovely sunset to close your day, and I waited for you to walk with me in the cool evening breeze, but you never came.
I spilled the moonlight on your face as you slept last night, and I thought we could spend some time together when you awoke, but you hurried off to work. My tears were in the rain.
I declare my great love for you in blue skies and lush green grass, whisper it through rippling leaves and blushing flowers. I shout it to you from mighty rushing rivers and pounding ocean waves. I warm you with the sunshine and the birds sing you sweet love songs. My love for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest need in your heart, but you seem too busy to hear.
Talk to me, don't forget me. I have so much to share with you. I have chosen you and I will wait ... because I love you.
Your Friend,
Jesus
