FRIEND! James 4:4

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Friend! What is a friend? Webster says a friend is a person one knows well, is fond of; a supporter, an ally or sympathizer. A good friend is someone who will help you, someone you can confide in, someone you really trust. A friend is a social or casual acquaintance; someone you know and speak to but rarely associate with except in large social gatherings.

Jesus is a good friend in need; therefore a good friend in deed.

Friendship can be a good thing, a great thing, or it can be a devastating thing. What is your friendship like with God? With Jesus? With the world?

James 4:4 "You adulterers! Don't you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again; if you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God."

Having friendship with the world involves seeking pleasure at others' expense or at the expense of obeying God. Pleasure that keeps us from pleasing God is sinful; pleasure from God's rich bounty is good.

As believers, we should have a oneness. We should all have unity in spirit and not quibble over minor doctrine or items. Who are you working for? Yourself or God? If God, then let us be one body, unified and serving only the living God. Have a wonderful day, my friend in Christ.

In Christ's Love and Grace
