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.
God created each of us to be original, with unique talents, personalities, backgrounds, strengths, and weaknesses.
Some people are acquaintances. Some are life changers. We can learn from Jesus how to become life changers.
Do you understand yourself? God knows who we really are and can help us get to the root of things. We just have to be willing to let him.
God wants us to have friends we can be completely ourselves with, but this can only happen if we let go of control.
This is a lesson for all of us about running and quitting. Before we “give up the ghost,” maybe we should check with God to find out if he has a plan.
