Prayer for RF Ping -
Scripture: 3 John 1:14 “I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. Peace to you. The friends here send their greetings. Greet the friends there by name.”
Thought: Relationship is the seedbed of friendship.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, push me to be an active friend of my fellow Christians.
Excellent point.
This is central, critical, definitive.
One aspect of the Trinity, something at the heart of the wonderful 17th chapter of John is that relationship O(Love) is already fulfilled and perfected within the Godhead, and that we are given the grace to enter the very heart of God by growing in unity with one another.
Someone might read your 'thought' and dismiss it as sort of 'what I learned in kindergarten.'
But in truth it is absolutely central to the Gospel. When God says, "Let there be light," when we say, "Amen! Come Lord Jesus!" we are proclaiming relationship. God Himself is giver, recipient, gift -- Lover, Beloved, and Love. Relationship.
Amen! Come Lord Jesus!
We are brothers and sisters in Christ - thanks for the prayer, xzins.
