*Good Morning Family 🌞* Inspired by John 15:14–15 🙏, let's reflect on Jesus' definition of friendship. To some, it may seem odd 🤔. He says that we are His friends only when we do what He commands us to do 📚. Imagine saying that to one of your best friends 🤝. Such a statement would most likely be met with a laugh 😂 and dismissal as foolishness 🙄. Jesus is the only one Who can base your friendship upon obedience to His holy will 🙏. Why? Because of the nature of what He commands you to do 💕. Jesus is pure Truth ✨. What He wills is the perfection of love ❤️. Therefore, His statement that you are only His friend if you do what He commands you to do teaches that friendship is based on the truth In regard to your friendship with others, each true friendship can only be based on that which God wills for friends 🙏. This means you are only willing to establish a friendship upon the truth 💯. It means you are only willing to share a relationship based upon selfless, sacrificial, self-giving mercy 🤝, compassion ❤️, honesty 🙏, and love 💕. Reflect, today, upon your understanding of friendship 🤔. Begin with your friendship with God, but then also ponder your friendship with others 👫. Do you love our Lord in the way that He commands? 🙏 If you can love God and others in conformity with the dictates of true love ❤️, then your friendships will produce an eternity of deep fulfillment 🌟. *Prayer* My divine Lord 🙏, You call me to a friendship with You based only on the dictates of pure and holy love ❤️. I thank You for this command of love 🙏 and accept this invitation 📖. Help me, Lord, to continually deepen my friendship with You in accord with the truths of love 💕 and help me to base all my friendships only on the commands of this holy love 🙏. Jesus, I trust in You 💯. 🙏💕 In Jesus Name Amen 🙏 May this reflection inspire you to nurture meaningful relationships! 🌟
