True Friendship
"There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13
What happened yesterday was amazing. While this was the most terrifying thing that has ever happened on the WSL, it was amazing because God has shown the world true friendship put into such a terrifying scene. When Mick Fanning was being attacked by two great whites, he was telling his opponent, Julian Wilson, to go to the beach where he would be safe. But Julian made the choice to paddle towards Mick to help him instead of going to the beach. This one choice has changed many lives. Watching the interview that Julian gave after, shows how emotional and terrifying this incident was and clearly how Julian feels about his brother in Christ. It has made us want to have people like Julian in our lives that will help us in even the toughest situation and has made us want to strive to be that person in the lives of our friends. Moments like these let us know that God is always watching over us. God has blessed us all with guardian angels that I know had been watching over them that day, and God gives an everlasting love to us no matter what.
"For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go." Psalm 91:11
