Everyone has friends that come and go.
We all have people that are expendable in our lives that we can afford to address in common ways.
Some of us become friends with others because of their connections with other people.
Some of us become friends with others out of the need of companionship.
My point is that friends, for the most part, are easy to come by.
However, one friend that isn’t expendable; that we are sometimes too common with is Jesus.
I feel that we forget and we ignore how good of a friend Jesus really is.
How many of your friends on Facebook allowed themselves to be humiliated for you?
How many of them have been spat on and beaten senseless for you?
How many of them have carried your sins lately so that you may be forgiven?
Jesus can be a friend, but we have to remember that He shouldn’t be an expendable one.
We shouldn’t treat Him as we do some other people.
Jesus shouldn’t be placed on the same level as us common folk.
What statement are we making when we treat our relationship with Jesus as a distant friendship?
We shouldn’t call him only when we need him for something.
We shouldn’t only contact him when all of our other friends are busy.
Jesus should be the friend of all friends seems how He has all of our backs.
In this New Year, all of us should practice the act of giving Jesus the respect that He deserves.
One for the week: Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37
