Define Friendship
« on: July 06, 2011, 06:19:49 AM »

Our Daily Bread

Someone has defined friendship as “knowing the heart of another and sharing one’s heart with another.” We share our hearts with those we trust, and trust those who care about us. We confide in our friends because we have confidence that they will use the information to help us, not harm us. They in turn confide in us for the same reason.

We often refer to Jesus as our friend because we know that He wants what is best for us. We confide in Him because we trust Him. But have you ever considered that Jesus confides in His people?

Jesus began calling His disciples friends rather than servants because He had entrusted them with everything He had heard from His Father (John 15:15). Jesus trusted the disciples to use the information for the good of His Father’s kingdom.

Although we know that Jesus is our friend, can we say that we are His friends? Do we listen to Him? Or do we only want Him to listen to us? Do we want to know what’s on His heart? Or do we only want to tell Him what’s on ours? To be a friend of Jesus, we need to listen to what He wants us to know and then use the information to bring others into friendship with Him.

That's a great definition about friendship....
For me, Friendship is like an eyes, they blink together, they move together,
sleep together, and see together. even though they can't both see each other.
the friendship still remains...:)

Hmm, nice. Yes, the eyes can't see each other but yet are always together...

By the way, welcome to Tubag Bohol, Ms. Fharz...

He he, that's a curious question. Really, what makes you entertain the notion that I may not be from Bohol at all? ???

Not that I do, but that if he does, he'll be given the benefit of the doubt. :)

There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.
  -John 15:13

(in reference to Jesus' ultimate love for us; as a Father, God, and Greatest Friend)
