FRIEND

John 15:15-17

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. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another.

Encouraging Words

There is something special about being called a friend by someone that you of love and respect. It lifts you up and helps you to feel valued and appreciated. Jesus calls us His friends when we choose to follow Him. He chooses to reveal the truths of God, the Father to us, His friends. He gives us what we need to go and bear fruit. He asks the Father to meet our needs. As we grow in our friendship with Him, we follow His commandment to love one another. Thanks be to God!
