John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
I had a conversation with my sister once upon a time and she asked me this question. "Who is Jesus to you?" I told her, "He is my friend." Of course Jesus is many things to me; Lord, Savior, King, and so on, but when I talk with Jesus, I talk to Him as my friend. He and I work together to accomplish the will of the Father. When I pray to Jesus, I use a very familiar tone that is comfortable and easy. He is someone I feel very close to and have an overwhelming sense of comfort and calm. I am content to sit with Him and say nothing, which is sometimes the most enjoyable. You've got friends you can do that with. You know, friends that you don't have to fill every bit of silence with something. That's how I Jesus and I are. We can sit and not talk or anything and just be together. I like that. So today I ask you, who is Jesus to you? (Disclaimer :-) : Please don't think that we all have the same relationship with Jesus. Some may see Him as Lord. Others may see Him as Savior. Others may have something altogether different. The relationship you have with Jesus is just as unique as you are, and that's a good thing. This is just to get you thinking about Him.)

Honestly Abbie my relationship with Jesus is a close, intimate, comforting, calming relationship like yours. He is always with me and I talk to Him like a friend. I used to think perhaps this was wrong or not best when I listened to other Christians pray, but now I know it's just perfect for me and Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of how personal our relationships with Jesus are. My mind cannot fathom how He cares so deeply and specifically for each of us. Thanks for sharing!
