Who is God leading me to be friends with?

Shepherd of my life, let the spirit of friendship flow through me that I may make more friends and bring them to your abundant joy.

In today's reading I was struck and realize how I should be towards the people I would like to help. Though deep in my heart I want help be towards them, but if my way of relaying that to them could be so harsh for them, my wish to help could be not that effective.

Yesterday, it was said that knowledge alone cannot a move a thing, only love!

Today, I have to reflect on a question asking, "Were there times in your life when you were a bad influence on another person? How can you repair that?" To think it over, I believe my answer to this is a lot of yes. There were many times and have these been repaired, i guess were not.

I hope to get help and guidance on how I can do some corrections and changes to these. I have always now read the Lord's daily messages to me and most often than not I can say the words can't get into me that deeply. And so I would love to pray these: "Lord Jesus, may your word take root in my heart and transform all my thoughts and actions. Give me wisdom and understanding that I may know your will for my life and have the courage to live according to it."

God is our P R O V I D E R.

We must have faith that He will provide. Whatever prayers we have, He will answer in His time. We must keep the faith. God has always proved to me He answers our prayers. Im just so blessed to have a close relationship to Him, that I notice His answers to my calls, some are yes other times He also says no. But still I am assured He listens to me and give reponses to my prayers.

Also, He knows our needs. Sometimes the things we ask are things way far to what we in reality needs. So He acts upon it, not giving what we ask for but rather what He knows will be better for us.

Open my eyes, Lord, so that I may see that purpose you've planned when You created me. I pray that I may be sensitive enough to hear the Lord's voice and I may see te plan He has for me.
