God doesn’t want any of us to go through storms alone.
God is relational; he wants a friendship with us, not a religious performance.
Though Zacchaeus came with baggage, Jesus’ decision to love anyway completely changed Zacchaeus’ life for the better.
When we learn to make God a personal friend, he will become real to us, and in doing so teach us how to become a “true friend” to others.
Some people are acquaintances. Some are life changers. We can learn from Jesus how to become life changers.
