Better Friends (7/26)

Are you looking for more meaningful friendships?

The discipline of devoting daily time with Jesus – Christian prayer – lessens preoccupations with personal struggles. The more regularly we sincerely seek Jesus, He increases and we decrease (cf. John 3:30). As we deepen our own friendship with Jesus we become more open to those whom we encounter along our way, even though they may have different backgrounds, varied interests and inconvenient timing.

Commit first to heightening your awareness of the Presence and Power of that great friend who never will betray you. Speak with Jesus just as you converse with others. Share your joys as well as your difficulties. He always is eager for us to spend time with Him. Visit Him faithfully and listen to Him intently. Better friendships are certain to follow.
