Friendship is not accidental to the Christian life

I read this the other day and can’t shake it.

“Christians can survive only by supporting one another through the countless small acts through which we tell one another we are not alone, that God is with us. Friendship is not, therefore, accidental to the Christian life.”

You should probably read that again, it get’s more powerful every time.

Our efforts put towards friendship with people is not meaningless.  In fact it is how God begins to recreate everything.

¹² My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you… This is my command: Love each other.   John 15

Today, carve out a second to think about the people God has put around you….what small way could you let them know they are not alone and that God is with them?

You are not alone friend,

Adam
