The 1 Minute Takeaway: 062519
• Be Openly Unmasked in Friendship- Earthly & Eternal
My notes:
– Friendships transform life
– Friendship with God gives life, rest & shade
– I can be friends with THE DIVINE KING- I can call him and he’ll pick up the phone (so to speak) THAT IS INCREDIBLE!
– Realize His humble condescension to listen to & come to me when I call; I’m just dust …
– He never makes me feel like a waste of His time…
– Sorrow removes a person’s shallowness
– Sorrow makes us real- you suddenly have time for other people
– God looks for persistence not perfection
‘The LORD your God goes with you’ Deut. 31:6 (friends travel together)
– In the world dependence is frowned upon, in God’s kingdom it’s the key indicator of love
– Is my desire to meet Jesus greater than my pride? (Mary Southerland, Girlfriends In God)
– Am I lugging my collection of masks around? (M. Southerland)
My takeaway:
– God wants unmasked realness in our friendships – earthy and eternal
