testing something new
Is this thing on? If so, let me tell you a story about a girl and her favorite band.
This young gal and her husband loved Reliant K and I saw her post on facebook that they'd be attending their upcoming concert. That was a couple of weeks ago. The other day when we had coffee at Starbucks, however, she told me that she was FRIENDS with one of the band members. Real friends, not facebook:)
That changed everything. Her story held more weight for me now...and for her, too, evidently. She recalled the scene when she and her hubby talked outside the back door of the venue with their long-time buddy, catching up on what they'd been doing during the time of the tour and other stuff...soon he started giving them some of the back stories of the songs they'd be performing that night.
"That made the concert so much more enjoyable to us," she said. "And even afterward, when I'd listen to the cd in the car, I'd remember what he'd told us, and I'd be like, oh man, I GET it...and what was a great song before became stellar."
All because she knew the guy as a friend and listened to his heart behind those public statements.
Okay, bottom line: that's why you've GOT to know Jesus as your friend. Not on facebook. You can't just know about Him, but as a real friend you can really talk with. He'll tell you privy info as you're reading the Bible or chatting about things...and He'll blow your mind, because they're way smarter than you are. Life will become soooo much more enjoyable, because if you want it, you'll sometimes get the backstory. Send a friend request right now--ask Him to be your pal for REAL:) It's so worth the faith you spend...
