One of the most meaningful moments of my holiday weekend was an hour and a half spent with a really close friend from my past.
Even though we are miles apart at the current time and see each other about once or twice a year, there’s an instant bond and mutual sense of appreciation for what God is doing in our lives.
Great friends seem to have the capacity to empathize with you in your struggles and to encourage you to persevere through them They also have the ability to affirm what they see as the “growth points” of your life and make themselves available to support you where you need it.
I hope you have someone, or if you’re really blessed, a few people like that in your life. They aren’t just here today and gone tomorrow, but last a lifetime. I think these are the kind of friends that God gives us as gifts during the course of our spiritual journey.
Blessings,
Pastor Jay
