As you point out, Pastor Mike, today's passage is much deeper than most people think. It is a wonderful verse to take the time to ponder. Let us go to a quiet place with this verse, and invite our hearts and minds to reflect upon the deep meaning that the Holy Spirit wants us to learn. Thank you for giving us a nudge to do just that.

We try to also use the "presence gauge" of Jesus Himself: "Would I do this thing if Jesus was visibly sitting right next to me?" His Spirit is, after all, right here inside of us believers. Another challenging gauge that helps us is: "Would I want to be doing this, if Jesus came back at this very moment to take us to Heaven?" We miss Hawaii and send everyone our aloha from Virginia

Proverbs 17:17, 18:24 A friend loveth at all time, and a brother is born for adversity. A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.This is an area where I find myself struggling quite often. Because of my personality, I have a hard time making friends easily. At times I fell very discouraged when it seemed that no one cares for me. I wanted to hang out but had no one to hang out with. I always thought that friendship is something I can receive but over the years. I have learned and have come to the realization that it is something I need to give as a Christian. It says clearly in chapter 18 verse 24 that “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly;” If I want to have friends I need to show myself friendly all the time. Proverbs 17:17 states “A friend loveth at all time,” Love is a vital part of a relationship and it is what keeps it going. We need to give or share ourselves, our time, and sometimes our money as part of our friendship with those we make friends with. John 3:16 says “For so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son............” Romans 5:8 reads “But God commendeth his love toward us..................” I John 4:19 states “We love him, because he first loved us.” So it is very clear that it is something we give or share.
Do you have any friends? Are you the kind of friend so friendly at the time? If you do not have any friends maybe it is because you are not showing yourself friendly. I worked very hard to make friends over the years and have proved that friendship starts with me giving myself to others and being friendly. It is somewhat difficult at times but with God’s help I was able to make new friends. When was the last time you met someone and made that into a new friend of yours? Let us show ourselves friendly to each other and see what God can do with our friendship. Let us love one another and work together as a team to accomplish great things for God and our Lord Jesus. Amos 3:3 says “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” The answer is no. We need to agree with each other in order for us to walk together and part of agreeing is to love each other and accept each other just as God accepted us regardless of the color of our skins. Will you be my friend? Please please !!
In Christ,
Pastor Anter
