We serve an INCREDIBLE God who is EVERYTHING He claims to be. He is to be feared and should be feared by all men. I felt deeply sorry for any who do not FEAR Him as the ONE AND ONLY GOD.

He has chosen to call Himself our Father, but He is EVERY BIT God with more majesty than can be imagined on this earth. Every ounce of worship, praise and love we can give, He merits it all and so much more. He deserves our lives - He deserves all of us. He is truly worthy...worthy...worthy.

He is awesome, holy and beautiful beyond measure. Truly, what a GREAT God we serve. What a privilege we have been given to serve Him, to be called His children. What a privilege we have been given to love Him. He is holy, righteous and just - worthy of all our love. Truly, He is fearsome in His majesty.

He is God, absolutely God. He is not our puppet, He is our God. And we are His children; we belong to Him. There is no place for our personal will, it is irrelevant in the face of His glory. In His glory, we are simply absorbed into Him, into the mass of glory that makes Him God. All that we are in the natural is left behind and we are at once nothing. Yet, we are everything that He is because we are in Him and He is in us.

We are powerful as we are in Him and nothing outside of Him can make us fear or regret; we stand in Him. We are nothing in ourselves, yet mighty in Him. His power radiating through us can and will transform nations for HIS KINGDOM.

All that we do, all that we are is because of Him - He is great and we are simply a part of HIS greatness. We are made great through HIS GREATNESS.

Dr. John Maxwell writes: "If you want deep, lasting friendship, you cannot always be the strong one. And that can be frightening; especially if you've had someone hurt or manipulate you. But you must let a friend see you in your weakness. Some of us have never done this, and we wonder why we're lonely. We're going to have to get vulnerable to have a true friend."

Friends serve each other. When's the last time you performed an act of servant-hood for a friend to whom you're devoted? If you can't remember, you're probably living with a core of loneliness.

A friend is someone you commit to not because of what they can do for you, but just because they're your friend. And friends listen, even though they're busy. Listening is an act of love. It says 'I'm going to put my own agenda on hold and devote myself to knowing and caring for you.'

Friends are not generally looking for someone who can talk very impressively or cleverly or with great wit. Mostly what they're looking for is a world-class listener. Furthermore, when something goes right, friends celebrate. Do you do that? When's the last time one of your friends had God bless them - and you threw a party?

"If you're not in this kind of friendship right now, you can't make it happen, but you can open yourself up to it. You can start pursuing it. You can ask God to guide you. You can take little relational risks. And if you already have friends like this, prize them, protect them, enrich them in every way, and take that friendship as deep as you can."
