Oswald Chambers once wrote, \u201cThe most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain (with God) and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack.\u201d What an amazing honor that Jesus would call us His friends. A true friend is an immense blessing and has the ability to strengthen in times of weakness, sharpen us with wisdom, and encourage us on our journey. Through prayer, the Word of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit Jesus has promised to never leave us or forsake us. This week we will be encouraged that Jesus Christ calls us His friends and all that we seek out of life is found in the connection Jesus has made with us through His death and resurrection.
