John 15:15 (NIV)

"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

Have you ever needed a friend who truly understands, a friend you can depend upon no matter the circumstance or the cost, a friend who, with just a glance, can brighten your entire day?

Do you know this friend who is merciful and kind, who does not envy, who is humble and does not demand His own way, the One who thinks no evil of you?

This friend finds no gladness when injustice or harm comes against you. This friend, your friend, rejoices with a song over you and bears all things.

He is waiting for you.

Be still today, stop and take a look! It’s well worth it when you discover He has always been there looking right back at you.

ACTIVATION:

Read John 15:15 aloud: "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."

Pray the following prayer, either silently or aloud:

"Jesus, thank You for calling me Your friend. Help me to understand the depth of Your love and friendship. Teach me to walk closely with You and to trust You in every aspect of my life. Open my heart to experience Your kindness, mercy, and unwavering support. Amen."

After praying, listen for any words or impressions the Holy Spirit might give you about your friendship with Jesus. Write these down in your journal.
