Friend of God

I was singing "You are Holy" the other day. I love the chorus, and one particular thing stuck out to me this time. Here is what it says (this is the woman's part):

"You are Lord of Lords

You are King of Kings

You are mighty God

Lord of everything

You're Emmanuel

You're the Great I Am

You're the Prince of Peace

Who is the Lamb

You're the living God

You're my saving grace

You will reign forever

You are ancient of days

You are Alpha, Omega, beginning and end

You're my Savior, Messiah, Redeemer, and friend"

Isn't it amazing how with all the things that are true about God (Lord of Lords, King of Kings, mighty God, Lord of everything, Great I Am, beginning and end, etc) that one of the descriptions of Him is FRIEND! He is so vastly greater then us, and yet He is willing to call us friends!

In John 15:15 Jesus says, "No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you"
