If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in,
and we will share a meal together as friends.
Revelation 3:20b New Living Translation
Jesus gives us the gift of friendship.

A true friend loves regardless of the situation …
Proverbs 17:17a The Voice

… a real friend will be more loyal than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24b International Children’s Bible

Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him.
With them alone he shares the secrets of his promises.
Psalm 25:14 Living Bible

And here is how to measure it—
the greatest love is shown when a person lays down his life for his friends;
and you are my friends if you obey me.
I no longer call you slaves, for a master doesn’t confide in his slaves;
now you are my friends, proved by the fact that I have told you everything the Father told me.
John 15:13-15 Living Bible

Friends come and go,
but Jesus comes and stays.
