I have heard it said that a “friend is someone who has seen
us at our worst and still loves us.”
“No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not
know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I
have heard from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15, ESV).
I love people. I am
enjoying building friendships and being friends with people. None of us are perfect. We have our shortcomings and our quirks. We have good days and bad days. We feel great and then not so much. We are happy and sad at times. I have often
said as a minister that I am in the people business. I love to make friends and I love to be a
good friend with those who give me that privilege.
Our God knows everything about us. He has seen us at our best and our
worst. He knows our very thoughts. Yet he still loves us. Jesus calls us his
friends!
This week as you go about your life and serving in your community, I
would like to encourage you to take time to reflect on your relationship with
Christ. If you are a follower of Christ, you are his friend. How does
that truth impact how you live this week?
