A FRIEND

 A FRIEND

John 15:9-17 

Devotional:- “...but l have called you friends…” (V. 15)

In this generation, it is not a common thing to find true friends. This is someone who goes all out to see to your well-being. Someone who wants to identify with you in all situations. Someone who is not feeling fine until he sees you, someone who daily remembers to pray and intercede for you. It can be a terrible thing sometimes when you desire to share your mind with someone, and no one is willing to listen to you, or someone who could offer a little help. Sometimes we could be in need of a little encouragement, but no one to really do it. The people who are supposed to encourage us are the ones who misunderstand us and condemn us.

We need to come to the understanding that God is our friend. He is not just your Lord and God. He always wants to listen to you. He is not happy when you are not (Hebrews 4:15). He is always around you. He wants to identify with you in all situations. He is not out to condemn you (John 3:17). No matter your offence, He is willing to forgive you (1 John 1:7-9).

Be willing to open up to Him always. He is a true friend. He is willing to talk to you always through His book that I call His love letters to us. Let His word comfort you. Sing your song to Him always. Create quality time to be in His presence, and He will always whisper His love to you. You will find His Company suitable for your success in life. Listen to His gentle voice sayıng to you, “Hello friend,”

Prayer: Lord, help me to recognise you as my friend.

“IF YOU RESPOND TO HIS LOVE, HE WILL RESPOND TO YOUR CALL”
