No longer do I call you servants…I have called you friends. John 15:15
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
And what a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer…
Everything, absolutely everything-our worries, our pain, our weaknesses, our failures, our sorrows, our deepest secrets, we don’t need to carry them for a moment. Jesus is our friend. He will stand with us and help us even if no one comes to our aid. He laid down His life for us. Why don’t we carry our burdens to Him, today? See what peace He would offer in exchange for our turmoil.

Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?" —John 14:9
God’s Word makes it clear-the goal of life is knowing Christ. We receive His blessings and know His Word, but do we really know Him?
Jesus said, “…I have called you friends…” (John 15:15). True friendship is rare on earth. With true friends we can pour our hearts out, and spend hours together talking about various things and hours pass by, and you don't even realise it. How awesome it is to have a friend in Jesus! With Him as our best friend we are never lonely. We have total peace and assurance knowing that He is our all in all and there's no room for doubt or fear.
Do you have such a relationship with Jesus?

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

1, 10, 20?
Again. 3 years.
10. How do you read your Bible? Electronically? Physical Bible? Journaling Bible, or do you choose not to write in it at all?
Physical. I have a journalling bible which I got for my high school grad but I have not put anything into it yet. Instead I use my "wee college" (basically preschool bible study??) bible in which I highlight things in crayon. 👍

thinking about how even my experience growing up queer in a conservative environment was less safe than other people in the very same space. because they didn’t understand how important it was to stay closeted for me. because even if i didn’t come out to them, even if the only thing i ever did was show them support in private, they still had the power to hurt me with that just by mentioning it to someone. and now i’m in a place where people ask me “oh why didn’t you ever tell me this person was xyz queer identity?” when i was never given the permission to and grew up in a place where something exactly like that would have put me in danger. just because being queer is more widely known and to some extent accepted now doesn’t mean people still won’t get hurt if you don’t keep your mouth shut. don’t push people to come out. to you, or to anyone, and for the love of god don’t out them to others
