John 15:14, NIV
You are my friends if you do what I command. John 15:14, NIV Jesus treats those who obey Him as friends. It means that they can gain access and connections that mere servants can’t receive. They can’t experience great things that a simple follower can’t experience. Having a friend like Jesus is always amazing.

It’s challenging, especially when He asks you to do things that don’t make sense at first. But if you only follow His commands, you will realize at the end that God wants…

Day 391 – Luke 5:18-19
Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. Luke 5:18-19, NIV These men didn’t leave their paralyzed friend on their own. They chose to carry the man to Jesus despite the crowd. They looked for ways how to help him.

The word “thank you” is not enough for me to express how grateful I am for the things you did in my life.
