Purposeful friendships don’t just happen. Purposeful friendships are a choice. A decision. Even Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you.” When we decide to live surrendered to Christ, open-handed before Him, we begin to recognize that our friendships are not only from Him, but for Him. Are we willing to reorient our lives to be about purposeful, Kingdom friendships? Imagine what would happen if we did.
It’s natural to think of family during Christmas, but often the truth is that we aren't able to be with family during this season. But no matter where we are, we can always have friends around us! That's why when Jesus said to His followers, “I call you My friends,” He was telling them He would be with them always. As we head into Christmas, as a church, let's focus on the friendships Christ has brought into our lives.
