Today God says:
"You are My friend if you do whatever I command you to do"
He promises me:
"You are my friends if you do whatsoever I command you" (John 15:14)
My response to the word:
It stuns me to think that God wants to be my friend. I realize that friendship with God is a relationship that entails a deeper commitment and greater responsibility that most friendships. Jesus said, "I do not call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord does; but I have called you friends".
My prayer:
Lord, thank you for calling me to be your friend. I want always to walk with you, in close friendship with you.
Today's scriptures:
"A friend always loves, and a brother is born to share trouble". (Prov. 17:17 GW) "The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your friends" (John 15:13 GW)
Quote for today:
I find that doing the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans. (George MacDonald)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
