Friend

   Let us take a journey, to an average American style high school. Most people know the run down of administration in an average public school. However, just in case that someone does not, here is the basic run down.
   There are students, then teachers, then guidance counselors/ assisting administration, then assistant principals, and then the main principal, at least at the high school level. So basically at the top of the staff of the people actually on site daily, the principal is the highest.
   So it would only make sense to try and make the principal more than just someone who makes decisions that affect you in various ways. What if the principal, the head person of the particular school, stated that they wanted to be more than just a decision maker, but your friend? Would you not take advantage of the opportunity to not just be a student, but a true friend to the principal of the school?
   What more does it mean then if Jesus calls us friend? He is our King and Ruler and Creator of the Universe, and He wants to be our friend? Would we not be foolish to accept that? We can tell the Creator everything that we think and feel as if He was right there beside us? I beg of you, realize that God is our Ruler, but love the fact that He is our friend!
