patience.
We should not only reflect Christ through our
lifestyle, but also introduce Christ to our friends and
relatives. We should be active in leading prayer cells.
We should go for village outreach ministry and visit
mission fields.
always sympathetic to our causes and feelings. A true
friend will not betray us. We like to be in their
company. Time just flies when such friends are
around. We long for such friendship. But the fact
about friendship is that they just vanish after college
or job or marriage. Everybody has a different road to
take and they have their own problems to deal with.
But God relates to us as a friend. Our dear
friends might desert us. People might cheat us.
People whom we trusted might betray us. Parents
may be distant to our heart. But Jesus, the 'True
Friend' is always there for us. We can speak to Him,
talk to Him, and lay bare our heart before Him. We
can be transparent with Him. We can tell Him all our
problems, needs and struggles.
Jesus is a friend who understands the depths of
our heart. Let us learn to relate to Him not only as our
Master but also as our Friend.
The Blessing Youth Mission has declared 2018
as the 'Year of Integrity.' Shall we decide to lead a life
of integrity? Let the world see a true Christian in us.
The way of the world is broad and many enter
through it (Mat 7:13). We, as the followers of Christ,
have only ONE WAY and it is the narrow way. It is the
highway of holiness. We need not follow the crowd.
4. I am God's Friend
John 15:14 “You are my friends if you do what I
command you.”
A good friend is one who is there with us in our
successes and failures (Pro 17:17). A good friend is

Eph 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh
and blood, but against the rulers, against the

present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil
in the heavenly places.”

Isa 30:21 “And your ears shall hear a word
behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,”
when you turn to the right or when you turn to the
left.”
Today there is corruption everywhere, even
among Christians and Christian leaders. There is no
example to emulate. But here is a challenge. Can we
take it? Shall we decide to represent Christ to the
world? Will we be the examples so that others can
find Christ? When we speak, our speech should be
filled with grace. Our behavior should reflect Christ.
He speaks to us. Though Jesus is not here in
physical form. He speaks to us through His Word. Do
not just read the Bible. Learn to listen from the Bible.
Hear God's voice in God's Word. The Word of God is
alive and active. It gives us new life. It encourages us.
It guides us. It strengthens us. It delivers us. So let us
never, ever leave our Bible. We should avoid reading
from the mobile phones. We might miss important
truths unless we have an option to note down in
another place. We need to note all the things that God
speaks to us. Let us write them in a diary. Christian
life is a dynamic life of fellowship with the Almighty
Living God. Let us enjoy this journey of our life.
