God's friendship is incredibly extravagant. It was only but a moment before I boarded my flight in Houston to Tokyo I decided to take a glance to my right. There I found a dear friend whom I rode the school bus with in high school for years. Here I was at the airport about to travel for 13 hours alone for the first time to Hong Kong. The Lord's companionship never seem distant. I briefly remember asking the Lord for a friend on this trip. I love the way he gives confidence when we ask as a child of God. The beautiful thing Is that the good gifts he gives us always reflect something of his character. It is never apart from his goodness and never done without love. I asked for a friend and he gives me his friendship. I ask for protection, he gives me his peace. Who am I that You are mindful of me?
