SIX FRIENDS, ONE GOD
"For whoever is not against us is for us" - Mark 9: 40

I belong to a barkada of six. Each one is different from the other as day is from night but the biggest similsrity we have is that we are in love with one person- Jesus Christ.

Each of our love relationships with Him is unique, in that He addresses our concerns, heals our woundedness, and wins our battles on an individual and personal level. The timing varies as well, so that one friend can be struggling now, while another can be victorious. We agree that, while we are imperfect friends to one another, only Jesus can be the Perfect Friend to each one.

What amazes me is how He can be consistently loving and faithful, given that the six of us have different religions. But that doesn't stop Him from loving each one completely and selflessly to the point of His death. Only the Lord can love personally yet universally. Tisha P.

REFLECTION:
Are there days when you doubt His faithfulness? Confess your uncertainty and expect to receive His loving assurance.

Lord, thank You for being the Friend and God that You are. You are everything to me at all times.
