On Sunday I brought a message about friendship. I said it is the most valuable possession we have on this earth. (Of course that doesn't include our relationship with God!)
I also said that it is the only thing we can take with us to Heaven! If that is so and if friendships are so valuable, why don't we take the time to invest more in them?
Friendships occur on three possible levels...
Acquaintances- I know you.
Associates- I am allied with you in a mutual venture. (neighbors, co-workers, etc.)
Affectionate soulmates- I know you very well, trust you deeply, and love you!
Jesus had friends during His time on earth. A prime example is His friendship with Lazarus, Martha, and Mary. John 11:11
Another example is His friendship with those far away from God. Luke 7:34
One of my long time friends, from way back in church youth group days, is pastoring Pathway Church in Alabama. Check out his website and link to his blog. Brian is a great family man and pastor.
Who are your friends and are you taking time for them?
