Being Present

I had a friendship in grade school through high school that brought me close to God. Our conversations made me understand a life well lived is not about religion but about a personal relationship with Christ. Over the years, life sent us down different paths, and I had minimal contact with this friend. Not until I tried reconnecting with her did I realize I missed this friend on a deep level, not because of what she could give me, but Who I felt connected to when we shared life face to face. Her decision not to reconnect with me has actually taken away a very special blessing by her not being present in my life. God uses us to be His hands and feet. So it is my prayer: God, please use me to make a difference in someone else’s life by choosing to be physically present.
