“But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall
arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like
stall-fed calves.”
Malachi 4:2
One thing I have learned through
the years is that Jesus truly can be our best friend. I used to wake up every
morning and call different friends and chat quite a bit during the day . Then
God brought me to a different place. He wanted me to get up every morning and
spend time with Him. I would sit at his feet for hours, loving every minute of
it. I still had my friends, we just didn’t talk everyday. Jesus was first on my
mind and I was able to walk in Him closely all throughout the day. What I
learned from being closely knit with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit was that
They filled my life completely. He did arise to me each and every day and there
was healing in His wings. My heart has never been the same again. I go out “fat
like stall-fed calves.” Do you ever notice that the more you are with someone,
the more you become like that person? You begin to have the same opinions and
perspectives on life. It works the same way with God. The more time you spend
with Him the more you become like Him. You begin to have His opinions and
perspectives on things. You begin to do what He would do. You begin to desire
what He desires. You even begin to love people as He would want you to love.
You can forgive people more easily because that is His nature and You are
becoming more and more like Him. You reflect more of His glory, goodness and
love. Seek His face daily. Talk with Him and spend time in His Word. He will
reveal Himself to you. He will reveal spiritual revelations to You and you will
reap internal and eternal rewards. The time together will be life-giving and
life-changing. You will find that He is the best friend you could ever have.
Whenever we spend time with God we are soaking up His Son.
Father, thank You for being real to us. Thank You for being
our Lord, Savior, and friend. You can be our confidant and the One that we
call. You can fill our lives completely. You can arise to us each and every day
with healing in Your wings. You can make us go out “fat like stall-fed calves.”
No one deserves our time as much as You do. Lord may we take the time to
fellowship with You each and every day. It’s the best thing we can do in our
day. It helps us to walk in fellowship all day long. We hope and pray that our
time with you make us more like You. Give us Your opinions and perspectives on
things. Lead us to do what You would want us to do when we make decisions. May
we desire what You desire for us. May we love people as You do. May we forgive
others like You do. May we reflect more of Your glory, goodness and love. May
we seek Your face daily, talk with you, and spend time in Your Word. Reveal
Yourself to us. Give us spiritual revelations. May our time with You be
life-giving and life-changing. We ask You today to be our best friend, the one
we call, and the One we talk to the most. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
