Do you know that in John 15:12-15, Jesus called us to be His friends and not just His servants. He commanded us to love one another just as He loved us. “A friend is the first person to come in when the whole world goes out”. It’s one of life’s blessings to have someone who remains true to us under all circumstances. The support and encouragement of a friend is all we need when it seems that our life’s burden is too heavy for us to carry.
A true friend strengthens us when we are weak. They comfort us when we are hurting. They correct us openly even if it hurts us (Proverbs 27:6). They can laugh with us at the days to come. It doesn’t matter how few you’re friends are, for what is important is to have a true and loving one. (Proverbs 17:17) For a friend, loves at all times. And if we found one let us keep it. For they, are like precious stones so hard to find. Jesus, of course, is our Ultimate friend. He laid down His life for us to be saved. (John 15:13).
Let us take the initiative to develop relationships and investing our time for others especially to a body of believers for us to produce spiritual maturity and endurance essential for our growth. Let us also devote our time to deepen our relationship with Jesus for His friendship never ends.
Happy New Week
