Every friendship begins with a hint of selfishness that we all innately possess. But if we learn to flip our vision outward in obedience to God and service to others, His purpose for friendship is revealed. Jesus set the bar. He came to serve, not to be served. What did that look like in His earthly friendships? He was open to conversation with anyone, friendly with everyone, but held 12 people closer than others. And Jesus knew the best way to befriend someone was occasionally to confront them with the truth, even if it wasn't what they wanted to hear. He had to allocate His time and manage relationships just as we do on this earth. What else can we learn from Him and apply to our lives? Here are 10 revelations that have the power to transform friendships. Photo Credit: Unsplash/Omar Lopez |
