I love Randy Alcorn and his love story with his wife Nanci. Tremendous love story for us all. The love of Jesus. I love the picture used in this message! “Freind of JESUS.” Reminds me of our ‘TEAM JESUS; and ‘ASK ME ABOUT JESUS’ shirts! Glory!

Over the last two and a half years of grief since Nanci died, I have been sensing deeply the friendship of Jesus. What could be better than for Him to not only love us so much that He would die for us, but to actually call us His friends, and not just servants? That is so beautiful and meaningful to me,
“No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15).
“The friendship of Yahweh is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant” (Psalm 25:14).
“For the devious are detestable to the LORD, but he is a friend to the upright” (Proverbs 3:32, CSB).
God looks at us genuinely as both His children and His friends. Incredible! I share more thoughts in this clip from my interview with Rush Witt, on The Straight to the Heart podcast Here
