God created us for relationships. From the very beginning of the Bible, we see how important it is to have wise people in our life who help us understand how to honor God with our actions. When God sent Jesus, we were able to see the best example of friendship ever. In fact, when Jesus was on earth, friendship was one of the ways He grew as a human. In Luke 2:52, we read how Jesus grew in wisdom, faith in God, and friendship with others. And then Jesus showed us how much He loves us as He laid down His life for His friends. With His words and actions, Jesus showed friendship to everyone He met. We can reflect Jesus’ love best when we take time to care for our friends.
“A friend loves at all times. They are there to help when trouble comes.” (Proverbs 17:17) True friendship is about using our words and actions to show others we care. Each day, we can choose to live in harmony…because together is better!
