I no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know his master’s business.
Instead, I have called you friends,
for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
John 15:15 (NIV)
Dear Lord, sometimes my kids ask me for stuff—and that is good—but I also love the times when they just want to snuggle on my lap to be with me. You know, because they love me. Well, I can easily see a parallel truth here in that You too love it when I spend time with You as a friend—because that is what You have called me—rather than jumping straight ahead into my wish-list. So, today I want to just sit here quietly and enjoy fellowshipping with my very best Friend. Have I told You lately, Jesus, how much I love You?
Questions for Pondering…
Do I too often present my needs to the Lord without spending much time quietly in His presence or thanking Him for what He has already given me?
What are some of the ways I can better fellowship with the Lord today?
