Friends with Jesus
“The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.” Psalms 25:14 (NIV)
Friendship is a mutual relationship of love and respect, which is what God desires to have with us. Our God does not sit passively awaiting homage, but He is an interpersonal God who cares and is involved in our lives. Look no further than His Son Jesus for assurance that as He lived in friendship with the twelve, He will also live in friendship with you.
The Christian faith is one of relationship with the Creator of all things, and it is a relationship that He pursues with us. The Lord left the glories of Heaven to have a relationship with fallen man, that you and I may know Him as our Friend.
Let’s pray today that we may live and act in faith as a friend of the Lord Jesus Christ.
