Friendship is a reflection of the character of God.
God desires a relationship with us. That’s why He created us in the first place. When we sinned and broke that relationship, God continued to pursue us.
God sacrificed His only Son to make it possible for us to have a relationship with Him again.
Jesus demonstrated friendship in the most generous way possible. He showed us the greatest love when He laid down His life for His friends. He went to the cross, not on principle or for a cause, but because of love and wanting to be with us forever.
Our Memory Verse for September comes from Proverbs 17:17.
In Proverbs 17:17, we read, A friend loves at all times. They are there to help when trouble comes. (NIrV). Because with friendship you are using your words and actions to show others you care.
