Christian Friends Love Sacrificially
Crosswalk.com
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (NIV)
If we choose our friends based only on what they have to offer, we'll rarely discover the blessings of a genuine friendship. Philippians 2:3 says, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." By valuing your friend's needs above your own, you'll be on your way to loving like Jesus. In the process, you'll likely gain a true friend.
Blessings to You

SO very true!!! I am so blessed by the most unlikely friends. I have learned to come out of my box of thinking I can only be friend with this kind of person.
So true Amanda...we do so many things thinking how it will benefit us. And we do the same with friendship. Thanks for sharing this brief but truth-filled thought. And thanks for linking up to Bible Love Notes B&BB. I'm praying you'll be blessed big time this week! Bless you, Gail
Yes Jesus' love for us is sacrificial, and He doesn't choose whom to bless. If we love like Him, the way He commanded us to, He said we will be His friends! Isn't that amazing! Patsy from

True, so very true. What a great example Christ gives as the very BEST friend.
