Dear Friends,
Jesus is my first Friend. He is kind enough to correct me for my own good. How we feel can many times slow us down; or land us in the wrong place. In many ways, we can see how God loves us, yet after the Truth of God sets us free, … doesn’t our faith just seem to grow; in fact it does grow.
This post is comes to us after my Law of Learning. I hope this is a blessing to you too.
Love in Christ,

Friendships & Relationships have 2 pipelines.
The Vertical Relationship is the Primary & God is the Source to our ability..
When Jesus was face to face with the Horizontal Relationships, don’t you think He wanted someone to understand; & to stay up with Him, watch & PRAY with Him & even somehow be a comfort in a portion of His raging emotions? Yet, while Jesus was sweating blood, His friends were __(sleeping).
I believe Jesus felt abandoned that night before He was arrested. Not by the world, He expected that; ,but by His friends; His followers…
Now how About you? How are your ships sailing?
Friendships & Relationships …
There are Laws of relationships! We can’t JUST react ANY way we want & we can’t walk away with no compassion either! We can’t react in every way we feel & YET relationships are all about feelings, CAUSE & EFFECT of God’s love. The Laws of Relationships.
I hope this is a blessing to you, because it took me two days to get this message from God to share.
Our eyes may open to how people are, but we can’t abandon what God has called us to do (LOVE). WHY? BECAUSE of the 1st Relationship in Christ Jesus! You will be miserable IF you try quit caring about people.
If you “feel” … ask God & take another look. Have you gotten away from your first love, because of how people abandon the Law of Friendship?
May I encourage you, Jesus was abandoned by everyone, but His helpless mother, close friend & a few spectators…BUT they were not on that cross with Him. Even God had to turn is back on Jesus while sin & death were being abolished…BUT IN THE MORNING & 3 DAYS LATER, Jesus was/IS Risen from Death to LIFE! = & in Christ, so are we!
The Law of Relationships is hard, but worth the purpose in Christ to never give up on your 1st Relationship; that is WITH God THRU faith IN Jesus, THE Christ, THE Son of THE Living God!
We are remodeling another Termite damaged house! SIN destroys like these tiny bugs devour a structure! BUT this is what we do & this is what God does! We look UNDER the covers & discover what God already knows! We may see the ugly of the soft wood caving thru the floor, BUT we take out the OLD & Rebuild with New.
