Friendship

"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you." ~ John 15:13-15

It’s amazing to me that God - Ruler of all creation, all-mighty, all-powerful, all-knowing God - wants to be our friend. 

God doesn’t just want your worship or your praise. He’s not just looking for your obedience or your sacrifice. He’s not after your money or your possessions. 

He wants your friendship. 

The question is, how deep does your relationship run? And what can you do to improve your friendship with God?

God bless,

J.W.

Friend of God (Part III)

Are you a friend of God?

Do you want to be?

He wants to be yours.

All He requires is that you open up and talk to Him.

So, who are you talking to today?

God bless,
J.W.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” ~ Revelation 3:20

Friend of God - Part 2

“So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” ~ Exodus 33:11

Often times, we, as Christians, fail miserably when it comes to witnessing to others about God.

Why?

Because we talk about God like he’s some far away being in a distant land.

We even talk to God that way.

We say things like “God, show up today” or “God, just come by here and bless us.”

Don’t we know that God is ever-present?

He’s always with us.

In fact, the Bible says He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

So, why do we talk about Him the way we do?

God wants to be our best friend. He doesn’t ask for much. Just that we would relate to Him in a very real and intimate way.

So, have you talked to God as you would a friend yet?

God bless,
J.W.

Friend of God

“And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.” ~ James 2:23

Many times, people who don’t know God find it hard to talk to Him.

“How do I talk to someone I can’t see?” they wonder.

Well, here’s how.

Talk to God as you would a friend. Be real with Him. Tell Him what’s going on in your life. Ask for His advice on everything from your career choices to your love life to your finances.

See, James 2:23 is evidence that God wants to be your friend. He wants to have a personal relationship with you.

So accept His invitation today. Get to know God in a more personal, intimate way.

I promise you won’t be disappointed.

God bless,
J.W.
