Building friendships is not an easy thing to do no matter where you live or what culture you are in. It takes time, sacrifice and willingness (plus a mutual language is usually helpful). I’ve been missing relationships lately…friends to have coffee with, who I know and they know me, family who love to watch movies with me or just sit around talking. Sometimes I miss my kids so much it literally hurts but am I putting too much emphasis on relationship building? Not that I don’t think it’s important but shouldn’t I sit down with God, have a cup of coffee and just talk? Shouldn’t I get to know Him better? Shouldn’t His friendship be more fulfilling than any other?
Perhaps when I begin to take that to heart new friendships will begin to blossom. Until then I think I’ll go have a cup of coffee with my Friend.
…I have called you friends…John 15:15
