The title of this post is the title of a song from Seussical: the Musical. I listened to this song on my MP3 player during work this morning. That was one of my favorite shows to work on in high school. I listened to the song from backstage and at the time I could really relate to the sentiments of the song. I was a kid with lots of dreams and goals, and I wasn't sure how I could reach them or exactly who could help me find my way. I also wasn't very social, so I often felt alone among the generally outgoing theater kids. For me, there are many fond memories associated with this song.
As the years have passed, I have recognized another personal meaning to the song.The song is a plea for "one true friend in the universe who believes in me." I believe that the Truest Friend we have is Jesus Christ. We are surrounded with many people here on earth who care about us, but it is Christ who has sacrificed Himself for His friends, for each one of us. He wants us to be happy, and so does our Father in Heaven.
I am grateful for this lovely song from a fun and profound musical.
