FRIENDS OF GOD

   Did you know the human mind never ages?
   That the thoughts of your mind are only limited by God?
   We have been given a great power by our Creator:  the power to think, the power to plan, and the power to be creative.
   Therefore, do not waste your mind, and do not abuse it.  But rather explore the possibilities that are possible for you to achieve in the privacy of your own mind.
   Big dreams and big ambitions have been accomplished by people who used the power of their minds.
   In your mind, you are free:  free to think, free to explore, free to ponder, free to plan, and also free to pray.
   If, on the other hand, you submit your mind to the authority of others, you have surrendered your mental freedom as well as the power to think for yourself.  In so doing, you will become like them, walk like them, talk like them, dress and perform like them.  Their ways will become your ways, their behavior will become your behavior, and their thoughts will become your thoughts.  Now, you are captured, and a prison fence will surround your mind.
   If you submit your mind to a religion, to a political system, to a philosophical viewpoint, or to a person, you have contaminated your mind and mind will prevent you from being you because you will not make decisions by yourself because you have submitted your mind to the authority of others.
   God created you to be you.  The Almighty did not create you to be like everybody else.  He created you as an individual, to stand by yourself, and to also stand alone.  And God wants to help you to become a better you because nobody knows you the way God knows you.  He knows your weaknesses, He knows your strengths, your likes and dislikes, and He knows the talent He created in you. 
   As stated, God wants to help you.  God is not a dictator, and God is not bossy.  He will not push you out on the runway of life, and He will not leave alone and helpless.  Neither will the Almighty impose His ways on you, for you are special in the eyes of God. 
   Above all else, God wants to be your friend
   Can you imagine that?  That the Creator of the universe wants to be friends with you?  And that you can be friends with God?
   Jesus said, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:  but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.  (John 15: 13-15)
