As we celebrated our beautiful Grandfriend's last week and showcased some of the talent and artistic flare of the children at our school, let us reflect on what friendship is all about.

Good friends are one of God’s greatest gifts. Not one of us is meant to go through life alone and without help. God longs to use you as his hands and feet to those he has placed in your midst. He longs to make you a friend as he is a friend to us, in order to bless others and extend the reach of his kingdom.

1 Samuel 18:1-3 tells of the powerful friendship of David and Jonathan. Scripture says, “As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father’s house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul.”

Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” 

God longs to transform you into a friend who loves others unconditionally. It’s in the hard times that we most need our friends.
