40Days Of Gratitude with Bev Allen - Day 5: Friends

Years & distance separted them
but their souls were entwined

Welcome to 40Days Of Gratitude day 5!  Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I am looking forward to reading your comments and sharing your stories:  Revelations, problems solved, ideas conceived and birthed etc.

🙏🙏🙏

At the end of the devotion I invite you to do a short quiet reflection of 5 - 10 minutes. Breath deeply and focus on your breath - inhalation and exhalation.  If your mind is "busy" repeat the gratitude of the day or your own personal gratitude that comes to mind.  This quite time will allow you to hear from God.

👼👼👼

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

Today I am grateful and thankful for the friends you have connected me with at every stage of my life.  I am forever grateful for the gift of friendship.My life has been blessed by all my friends and today I honour those who have stuck with me and helped me navigate through the swampy years.  Where would I be without their steadfast love and support, their encouragement, listening ears and wise counsel?  They have been the midwives attending to the birth of my true self, my soul.

THOUGHT TO FOCUS ON:

A good friend is better than pocket money.

SCRIPTURE:

Proverbs 18:24 (KJV) - A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, thank you so much for the gift of friendships.  Help me to always honour, respect and cherish my friends.  Help me to be open, truthful and trusting; to be considerate and attentive.  Help me to value all my friendships.  Bless my friends according to their needs, wants and desires as it is your will for them.  

In Jesus name I pray.  AMEN.

Walk in confidence my brothers and sisters, knowing that no greater friend you have than Jesus and he manifests himself in your day to day life through your friends.
