Friendship comes from God.
Three Ways to Form Friendships Like Jesus
- Be INTENTIONAL
Jesus took the first step towards people.
Action Plan:
Call a friend that you’ve not contacted in a while. Touch base and schedule a coffee or lunch to reconnect and be a listening ear to what’s going on in their life. - Be AWARE OF DESIRES
Jesus assessed people’s level of desire for friendship.
-Their DESIRES.
-My DESIRES. - Be SELECTIVE
Jesus loved the crowds, but he chose a few close friends.
Embracing my relational limitations is an act of love.
