Good Morning!

What a "friend" we have in Jesus!!  Today, I am going to be very "adamant" in what I want to encourage you to do... Please take the time to read all of the 15th chapter of John!  If you will, then I believe that the Holy Spirit will give you a "fresh revelation" about the kind of "friend we have in Jesus", and also, how to apply this to your relationship with others.

There is a big difference between "acquaintances", and "true friends"...everyone that you are "acquainted" with, may not be able to be a "true friend" to you.  That is why we need to let The Lord "choose" our friends for us...and don't expect everyone you are acquainted with, to be the kind of "friend" that Jesus is talking about in John 15.....

True friendship is based on "love"...the kind of love that God talks about in 1Corinthians 13:4-8...(I encourage you to read these scriptures also).  We need to "believe" that Jesus is our friend, and that He has "chosen" certain people to be "true friends" to us, and for us to be a "true friend" to them!

Hey!  There is a lot of really good information in John 15, hope you will read it!!!

Have a Blessed Day!!  In His Love, Luanne
