thank You Lord for showing me today how special friends are. at different times in my life, God placed just the right special people to walk on in the journey. it's amazing how wonderful friends are. some friends might have shorter chapters in my life, some friends have longer chapters. yet all are unique in their own way, made by the Father. and specially placed in my life by God who loves all of us. God writes about our lives in His book. i'm secure in You Lord Jesus. take my life. take my all. i surrender my all to you. use me. fill me. lead me. cleanse me. for You. for You.
