FRIENDS....My Best Friend

FRIENDS
There are miracles in life that often happen without cause.
They're unique and sometimes hard to understand.
It's proof to me that Jesus really is alive today.
Another sign are angels we call friends.
I've been waiting years for you to come into my life Dear Lord.
I began to think it wasn't meant to be.
Until a friend explained to me while digging my own grave.
It was you that waited patient for me.
A drinking man has no desire to look beyond today.
He has no time or interest to be saved.
In his future lies a very self destructing road.
A road that only Jesus can repave.
The bottle took my passion and the devil had my lust.
You might say I was heading straight for hell.
To say I hit "rock bottom" is an understating phrase.
It would take a miracle to get me well.
Why you spared my life Dear Lord I just don't understand.
It obviously didn't mean that much to me.
But a friend explained about your unconditional love for us.
Like I read, "my eyes were blind but now I see".
Then one day you sent a man to help me find the truth.
A stranger then, but now a lifelong friend.
He set me straight, he gave me hope, and came into my home.
We talked with God and then I made amends.
It's one thing just to "talk the talk" and it's another to have faith.
One has meaning, the other one does not.
Even though I didn't get the message quite at first.
Pretending that I did was never thought.
Sometimes you need a friend to tell what's deep inside your heart.
Things that no one else could ever know.
You form a bond and trust this person with you inner self.
They see a part of you, you never show.
If you know someone that really needs a friend, then be a friend.
Don't think about what's in it just for you.
Offer them you ear and grab a hold to every word.
Then ask yourself,"just what would Jesus do".
Free will gives you the option to believe in God or not.
Delaying is a gamble that you take.
The Lord might grant a second chance but there's no guarantees.
So choose your life as you would choose your fate.
Webster writes "affection"  is the key to having friends.
And "affection" is another word for "love".
Love has many meanings but "devotion" comes to mind.
That means my best friend must be God above.
