What is a heart friend?
A heart friend is one who cares about your heart. One who doesn't just care about the mundane surface things, but one who truly cares about things that matter to you...how you REALLY are...what you're REALLY struggling with...what you're learning in your devotions...IF you're having your devotions...what verses you're memorizing...what you're spending your time doing...who you're spending quality time with, etc...
They are the iron sharpening iron friends!
God has blessed me with quite a few dear heart friends over my years and I am thankful for that extra dose of His grace!
Tonight I had the privilege of spending time with one of my dear heart friends. We have been friends for 18 years. The Lord has given me the blessing of knowing and loving this girl since she was in Kindergarten and has deepened our friendship over the last year or two since we both moved back to the same area. She has taught me so many things. I am thankful for her sweet spirit and her tenderness toward the things of God. Her passion to love and serve Jesus for all her days is something that encourages me! Recently we started a new Bible study together studying the women of the Bible. Tonight was Rachel. I love studying God's Word, challenging each other in our spiritual walks, praying for and with each other, and truly being sisters in Christ!
Tonight was fabulous...yummy dinner, tennis, and Bible study! What a perfect way to end a holiday weekend!
Thank you, Ashley, for loving me despite my imperfections - for letting God use you to impact my life - for your passion to challenge me to be like Christ - for your humble desire to please Him with your whole heart - for studying God's Word with me - for praying for and with me. You are a blessing to know and love and I thank the Lord for you on a daily basis! Love you!
