My Best Friend

My best friend's a little different than most peoples'. Wanna know why? Keep reading!

Many people have best friends. Most sing, dance, share secrets, and practically live their entire lives together. They can get mad, fight, and be best friends again in two days or two months. In the end, people will always forgive.

Like most people, I, too, have a best friend. But this best friend is unlike any best friend you’ve ever seen before. He has no true home, name, or even appearance. He’s a friend to everyone, even though he isn’t always supported by the type of society we live in today. Most people believe in his ways, but the occasional person can be completely oblivious to how truly great my best friend is.

You might be asking yourself, “Why would someone not believe in another person? What is there to not believe in him?” All very good questions, but I’m afraid that the answers aren’t always easy to come by. My best answer: not all people believe in the same things. We all think differently; that’s just how we’re made. But I must admit, my best friend has done some pretty miraculous things that are pretty hard to believe.

What kind of “miraculous things” has he done, exactly? He has done some things that you couldn’t even do in your dreams without his assistance. HE has helped people split seas and free mistreated slaves. All by himself, he created this very world, flooded, gashed, cracked, and healed it again. He made a place for Earth’s inhabitants to go after their time on Earth has passed. He joined the earth’s quantity, and washed away all peoples’ sins when he left. He loves everyone, even the ones that don’t love him back.

It sounds pretty strange, doesn’t it? I understand, because when I learned about him, he didn’t sound real, not in the slightest. More like something a person would have a dream about. But after awhile, I began to believe �" and later trust �" in him. He began to become part of my daily life, and it was almost like I could feel him walking along beside me with every step I took.

My best friend �" as I’ve said �" doesn’t have an actual name, so I just call him God. Every tear I’ve cried, every hug I thought I desperately needed, he was there for. He’s there even when I doubt that he is.

From God, I’ve learned that even enemies should be accepted as friends. “Love your neighbor as yourself,” he once said. After all that I’ve been through, it’s clear that he can do anything, - with His help �" so can I.
