Speed friendship?

You’ve heard of fast food, but what about fast friendship?

Recently, I saw a course advertising exactly this,

“Speed friendship conversations,” it was called

Promising to find me a creative soulmate in just a few short conversations.

Now there are some things in life we can get quickly; however, deep friendships aren’t one of them.

Friendship takes time, sacrifice, energy.

But for that, we are richly rewarded with deep relationship.

It’s a little like this with Jesus. He said...

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. - John 15:15 (ESV)

Just give him a quick listen, speed past Him without really getting to know Him, and you might be disappointed.

But sit with Him, spend time with Him, listen to Him, and I’m sure you’ll find a rich, deep relationship that you’ll never forget.

You’ll discover just how much he has already sacrificed in order to have friendship with you.

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." - James 4:8 (ESV)
