Friends with God

-It used to be about serving God-

 It's now about friendship.

-It used to be about attainment-
 But no longer! It's now about discovery!
 (Who I am in Him and Who He is in me)

-Oneness used to be about getting along with others-
  Its now about abiding in Him and Him abiding in me. 

-It used to be about being used by God-

 How sick was that?

- It used to be about me trying to love God-

  It's now about letting Him love me. (AS)

- It used to be about my devotion-

   It is now about finding my security in His.

-It used to be about daily reading the bible-

 It’s much healthier and more exciting spending time with my dad.

- It used to be about my worship-

  In these days worship is becoming a natural response to His goodness.

-It used to be about my church attendance-

 It is becoming about the security his presence brings.

-It used to be about appeasement-

 It is now all about son-ship.

-It used to be about finding a father-

 It is becoming about being found by my dad.

-It used to be about shame-

 It is becoming about climbing up in his lap even at my worst.

-It used to be about what I could give to Him-

 My heart is awakening to the hugeness of the cross.

It used to be about witnessing to the lost-
It is becoming about seeing the lost the way he looks at me.

-It used to be about doing-
 In fact it is now only about being.

- It used to be about giving thanks,
  I am discovering that I am becoming thankful.

-It used to be about comparing myself with others-
 It is becoming about loving what He sees in me

-It used to be about striving-
 It is becoming about resting.

-It used to be about temptation-

 My security in him is beginning to produce trust which frees me for obedience.

- It used to be about trying to please-
  It is becoming more and more about being His delight.

Friendship with Jesus, Fellowship Divine,
Oh what precious sweet communion,
Jesus is a friend of mine.
