Friends in High Places!

 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God. (1st Peter 1:18-21).
   
      Every person if they admit it or not, needs to belong, to be wanted to have value! It saddens me when I think of the vast majority of humans who attempt  to find a sense of meaning in anything other than God. 

Why the sorrow?

Because anything else but a relationship with the Eternal God....simply does not last. God is Eternal for a reason. Because that which is eternal within each human being, (Our souls) cries out for purpose and validation.  And the best of this life...is far from enduring or lasting, certainly not eternal.

We need to know, really know that our life has purpose, that we are headed somewhere....that we are on our way.

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

Did you see it, really see it? For our sake, for our benefit....for us!   He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake!

There is nothing that comes close to knowing the one, who for our sake....was revealed!  And it's  because of the Lord Jesus Christ (The greatest of friends) that I have friends in  "High Places"

Singer Larnelle Harris reminds us that we have so much to look forward too!

I've got hope when things look bad
And I can smile when I should be sad
I've got friends who lift me up when I'm feeling low
And they watch over me wherever I may go


I've got friends in high places
So high but not so far away
I've got friends in high places
And I'm gonna be with them someday


There's the Father right by His Son
And the angels, each and everyone
And other friends I miss so much and I long to see
But knowing ill be with them one day comforts me

I've got friends in high places
So high but not so far away
I've got friends in high places
And I'm gonna be with them someday


Why should I run
Why should I hide
What's there to fear
When my friends are on my side


I've got friends in high places
So high but not so far away
I've got friends in high places
And I'm gonna be with them someday


I've got friends in high places
So high but not so far away
I've got friends in high places
And I'm gonna be with them
Yes, I'm gonna be with them someday
