The promise "I Will Love God & Others" is at the heart of our faith. Jesus wants to have a love relationship with us more than anything else. He wants us to fellowship with others also. Relationship is what being a Christian is all about.

When we care enough to spend time with God we honor him. When we realize that the creator of the universe wants to be our best friend, a holy fear and reverence fills our heart. What a blessing to serve, follow and love Jesus wholeheartedly.

Develop a legacy perspective for your friendships. Prayerfully commit your friends to God and ask Him to use you in their lives for encouragement. Develop the habit of maintaining a lifelong friend prayer list.

Ask God to give you a greater respect and love for your parents. Seek to understand where they are coming from in situations that challenge your growing independence.
