sisters in Christ

Taking on a new meaning in my life right now: Sisters in Christ.

Sisters: Love you unconditionally, would drop everything if you needed something, are always there, are fun to be around. I would know about sisters. I have the two best sisters in the entire world.

In Christ: Living in Christ. Walking with Him. Talking with Him. Longing for and seeking His presence. An inspiration to you to be more like Jesus. Growing and learning from them every day. It's an amazing mentor actually.

It seems as though in the past few months God has blessed me with several of these creatures. I have sisters. I even have friends in Christ. But I'm developing new relationships with sisters in Christ that fill a void in my heart and brings me such contentment. You see, friends in Christ love God, and like you. But they don't love you the way a sister would. And sisters (although both my sisters are Christians, I have many more sisters than the two in my family) love you. Oh sure, they may love Christ, or they may not. But that isn't a prerequisite for a sister.

But a sister in Christ. What a special gift God bestows on us girls when He hands us a sister in Christ. It's the perfect package. It's the cremdelacrem in friendship, the piece de resistance in sisterhood, and the ultimate proof how very much God loves us and wants to give us good gifts.

So here's to my new friends: Tara, Joy, Debi, Karen, and Lisa! I love you guys.
