For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother. (Matthew 12:50 KJV biblestudytools.com) Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (John 15:14) Brothers and sisters grow up together and learn from one another. We hold up one another in prayer, are accountable to one another, forbear during trials/struggles; encourage one another, during distress or weakness. Brothers and sisters share gifts and talents that build up each other. Mothers are nurturing, caring and tender. They are firm (when necessary) yet, affirming. Mothers counsel and teach, offer guidance and supportive assistance. Friends are loyal and devoted. JESUS shares with His friends’ secrets (understanding of His Will and Ways). We desire to please The Lord. As JESUS’ friends, we do things that honor Him. May our relationship to The Lord and with one another be strong, healthy and continual. Glory to GOD. In JEUS’ Name. Amen.
