You can never have too many good friends. Most of us have what is really
called good acquaintances. When I think of that, it makes me really like
reading John 15:15, "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does
not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things
that I heard from My Father I have made known to you." I am happy just to
be called a servant, but He has pronounced me His friend. He promised to
be closer than a brother. I would not be so bold as to use that word if He
Himself hadn't said it first. He is Holy, I am not. He is the Son, Our King.
I am sinful and weak, yet He calls me His Friend. He left heaven for me
and died on a cruel cross for me. He arose from the grave for me and He
promised He is coming back for me to live forever with Him in a place He
has gone to prepare for me! What a Friend we have in Jesus!!
