This is scary to put out there because I haven't gone into details about it with my family or parents. However, God has shown up in my support system more recently so I thought it was time to thank them.
TD Jakes calls them your "destiny friends". I remember him describing them as those people that you don't know what it is about them but you know your destiny is tied them and you can't leave them. I truly felt like I saw a piece of it today.
Those friends that will pray over me when we don't know what to do. The friends that will humble themselves when a situation has gone beyond our understanding, tenacity, strength, pride and more. Those friends that you can trust with information about the dreams and glimpses that God has shown you about your future. Those friends that accept me for me.
Thank you.
Thank you for sitting with me even when I don't know what to say. Thank you for genuinely encouraging me in Christ. Thank you, Lord, for using them and I pray you use me to encourage and be a prayer warrior for them.
Thank you for how unique you are.
I know you're destined for an exceptional magnitude of greatness. The best in your fields. You are already exceptional now and I'm excited to see what God has planned for you in the future. My destiny friends.
Thank you for praying with me, for me and over me in private and in public. Thank you for inviting me to church on New Year's. Thank you for loving me when I'm behaving how God would like me to and when I'm not.
Thank you for being a true friend to me. Thank you for our relationship where we can minister to each other. Thank you for your love and patience.
God, thank You for living me through them. Thank you for sitting with me through them. Thank you for being patient with me through them. Thank you, God, for putting me next to such amazing people to keep up with and be influenced by. Thank you for humbling me.
