Hello, today my story is entitled:I want to be his friend! By the President Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, great president of the United States, received daily soldiers' uncountable petitions
who had somehow or other broken the discipline.
Each petition was accompanied by letters of more or less influential people.
One day, he received a petition without any recommendation letter.
- Then, says Lincoln, this man has no influential friends?
- It appears not, Sir.
- Well! I want to be his friend!
Generous retort, which was worth to the author of this last petition the presidential grace!
Jesus came to be the friend of all lonely persons,
the outcasts, the sick, rejected victims.
He wants nothing less to be as well the friend of each of us,
as deplorable as our past can be or whatever our feeling of unworthiness
and the circumstances which we pass through.
But this friendship is called reciprocity.
Let us love him in return, let us obey what he commands us to do.
Let us love each other, that's his command!
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command."
John chapter 15 verses 12 – 14
We can pray together if you wish
Lord, lead me to love those who are rejected, as you love them.
I want to go and meet them, to speak to them about you, so that they can know
that you love them and that you want to be their best friend.
The one who understands them, who helps them to walk,
and who has an eternal plan for each of them!
