Today... 'The Friend Of Those Who Do His Will' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'The Friend Of Those Who Do His Will'



To do the will of God is best
and with His friendship to be blest.
His love all other love transcends
He laid down His life for His friends.

Now no longer slaves shall we be
but members of His family.
Then in us Christ confides instead
tells us all that the Father's said

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
John 15: 13-15
There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Friend of those who do His will'
