Who is your best friend? Have you given them a call? Have you spent some special time with them lately? Do you ever find that it's difficult to carve out some time in your day for your friend? After your time at work, family time, keeping up with your chores and responsibilities, there are not a lot of minutes left over in your day.
Imagine your life as a pie. Each section you cut becomes a part of your life. The slices become pretty small once you look at all of the different sections of your life. Where do you fit Jesus into that pie?
This past Sunday, we talked about Jesus wanting to be our best friend. I'm wondering if we could place him at the center of the pie and allow everything else to flow from this center.
Remember the attributes of a friendship: Friends stay in touch; friends forgive; friends are there for each other; friends confide in each other; friends allow you to be yourself and friends go the extra mile for each other. Can you see Jesus as your best friend?
Our support scripture is Mark 14:32-42.
Do you think that Jesus wants us to spend time with him? Why was it so difficult for the disciples to do the one thing that Jesus asked? Do you think it was important for Jesus? Do you believe that you have a role, that you are a partner with Jesus today?
Our memorization scripture is from James 4:8, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you."
