life hint: When everything in your life goes wrong, look beside you. the one who didn't leave is your friend.
John 15:11-17
Jesus explains being a true disciple.
"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not konw his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other."

It's time for "Cooking with Christ." Today in the kitchen you and Jesus are making a dish called "friendship." This is the recipe:
First of all, I hate writing these things, like "a sprinkle of love", "one cup of hugs"...so I'm just going to talk about what friendship to me involves, in a ball pit of words :P
patience forgiving love hugs confidence trust fun smile comfort companionship gentleness secrets listen silence music care heart encourage support guide pray hurts help correct kindness understanding consideration sensitivity joy purity advice...
May God grant you friendship beyond your imagination; may you show it to someone else; may you feel it in Jesus; and may you find it in yourself.
