MY ONE AND ONLY BEST FRIEND

[denise ann congress]

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND! HE IS A MALE FIGURE AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE! AS A FATHER, HE GAVE ME LIFE, HE TOOK CARE OF ME WHEN I COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. WHEN I NEEDED FOOD, HE WAS MY PROVIDER. WHEN I WAS COLD AND SHIVERING, HE WAS MY SHELTER. WHEN FEAR AND TREMBLING OVERWHELMED ME, HE WAS MY HIDING PLACE. WHEN TEARS OF PAIN AND SORROW FLOODED MY BEING, WE WAS MY COMFORTER. WHEN MY ENEMIES ENCAMPED AROUND ME, HE WAS MY SWORD AND SHIELD. HE WAS ALSO A MOTHER TO ME. WHEN I FELT LONELY AND DEPRESSED, I WILL CRAWL INTO HIS LAP AND HE WILL WRAP HIS ARMS AROUND ME REAL TIGHT,AND HE WILL HOLD ME. AND THEN HE WILL SAY, "I LOVE YOU DAUGHTER"! I WILL NEVER, EVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU"! HE WAS A FRIEND WHEN I NEEDED A SHOULDER TO CRY ON OR TO TELL MY DEEPEST, DARKEST SECRETS TO. LET ME TELL YOU HIS NAME. HE IS A MAN OF MANY NAMES; JEHOVAH JIREH, JEHOVAH TSIDKENU, JEHOVAH NISSI, JEHOVAH ROHI, AND KNOWN TO ALL AS THE ALLMIGHTY GOD!!! HALLELUJAH!! HE WAS, HE IS, AND HE STILL WILL B MY BEST FRIEND, BECAUSE HE IS A MOTHER AND A FATHER TO ME AS WELL!!
