John 15:14-15
"I am no longer calling you servants because servants don't understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I've named you friends because I've let you in on everything I've heard from the Father." (The Message)"Jesus' entire life was an act of love and friendship to us." (d365.org) To say that we moved from the God-servant or Master/Servant relationship with Jesus/God to the intimate bond of friendship puts everything on a whole new level of understanding. Friends share with one another. Friends care for one another. To live as Jesus lived is to return that act of friendship and be drawn closer and closer to the heart of God. God wants to speak with us. A good friend will be there to listen. Have we listened to God today? Have we listened to our friends?
