You've Got A Friend In Me
Previous posted but too dard so I edited it and re-posted.
This is arrangement of a song written by Randy Newman for the classic movie, "Toy Story".
To me this is one of the most gospel of non-gospel songs that articulates the mystery of Emmanuel God with us, Jesus the friend of sinners. The chorus that says,
some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am, bigger and stronger too
reminds me that scripture makes clear Jesus, in His humanity, was not the most handsome, talented, accomplished or smartest. Nothing greatly distinguished Him until He began His ministry. The verse that says,
You got troubles boy, I got'em too
reminds me that He was in all ways tempted like as we are and yet without sin. Of course, that only applies to His time here on earth for now He has no troubles. The mystery of God becoming man is beyond full comprehension.
Jesus said in John 15:15 I have not called you servants for the servant knows not what his lord is doing, but I have called you friends, for all things I have heard of my Father, I have made known unto you.
On a simpler note, I would rather have friendship without romance than romance without friendship any day. Friendships by their very nature defer to relationships of greater priority in their own or their friends' lives.

A Prayer for Intentional Friendships and Connection at a New Church - Your Daily Prayer - May 25
When we finally decided to make the change and find a new church, we sat down to talk about the things we were looking for. My heart felt grief wash over again. Aside from wanting a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching church, at the top of my list was wanting a church that desired to truly know its people.
