REBUILD FRIENDSHIP AND RETURN SOULMATE 

14th May, 2024

From Our Lord Jesus Christ: John 15:15-16 

 “I do not call you servants any longer, because servants do not know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because I have told you everything I heard from my Father.

You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.”(John 15:15-16)

REBUILD FRIENDSHIP AND RETURN SOULMATE 

A friend can take the position of a soulmate, this is the defining role and tag. But the world is changing and friendship in today’s placement is suspect and passing through the sieve of acceptance to be relevant. And I ask, is true friendship  dying? This is the puzzle today. We live in the world that is the growing field of human activities where the combination of good and bad keep changing the landscape of human relationships. This has brought us to the worrisome station of friendship. Before we arrived here friendship was accommodated in the marrow of truth, and influenced by the hormones of trust because it’s not an idle relationship. Today, it may be difficult to build true friendship because the probe of sacrifice that is the gauge of its foundation is malfunctioning, thereby reducing friendship to acquaintance. This is coming from weakened sense of trust that is beclouding the society and in turn causing moral lesions. This affliction is a moral cancer that must be terminated, we must address it.

For a resolution we must return to the message of Our Lord Jesus Christ here and move friendship back to its established position; a position of abiding confidence, reliability, trust and encouragement. Even at the time of Aristotle, he wrote that “a friend is one soul abiding in two bodies.” This is the magnitude of its reliability.  We need prayer and commitment to achieve this.

Today, we are chosen by Our Lord Jesus Christ to bear fruit that cultivates friendship, fruit that endures; it must be fruit of patience, fruit that bears the wedge of sacrifice, fruit that supports the thrust of pressure from a needy friend and fruit that means standing with a friend at all times. These are the fruits and signs of true friendship, true friends have them.

Please rebuild your cracked friendship today and return soulmate if you can.  Remember that whatever we ask of God with requests enclosed in the envelope of love in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ will be given to us. This is the message in today’s Living MESSAGE.

Remain blessed in Jesus Name.
