Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV — Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

This week we have explored our purpose, as a child of God, to make disciples and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. On this Savor Saturday I am praising God for the opportunity to share the word of God with you through Water Walkers, as well as the bond and friendships I have with Julie and Ray as a result. While we may have been friends outside of our work on Water Walkers, our shared purpose to spread the Gospel and make disciples has strengthened our bond and blessed me with strength and comfort. Ray and Julie, affectionately known as Ju Ju, continue to show me what it means to be a Christian friend as they share my joys and burdens of life. They are two of the cheerleaders I call to tell about the blessings of life as well as two of the prayer warriors I call on to help in times of trouble. I savor our shared mission to obey Christ’s command to make disciples and I savor the bond we have as friends. 

Who have you formed a bond of friendship with as a result of a shared desire to serve others and make disciples of Christ? Take time today to let them know how much you savor your relationship. Intentionally thank God for the blessings of friendship you have as a result of fulfilling your purpose. 

Let’s pray. Thank You God for the bonds of friendship You have blessed me with as a result of responding to Your call to spread the Gospel and make disciples. May I always savor our times of service together and never take for granted the opportunities to fulfill my Christian purpose. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
