My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. ~ John 15:12-13

How much do we love our friends? How much have we done for our friends? God wants us to love each other but have we obeyed his command?

All the while I had my friends around me, helping me whenever I needed them, being there for me. But there is a time when we all need to part to pursue our own dreams. Most of my friends went overseas for their studies. Suddenly I feel like I’m left alone, though I know God is always there for me. Only then it made me start thinking about friendship…

Sometimes I really think that I’ve done so little for my friends compared to what they have done for me. Though their love is not as great as Jesus’ love, it’s really comforting to know that there are friends who love us so much.

Try to think about what our friends have done for us and we will realise that we may have been taking their love for granted. All those little things that they have done for us are actually acts of love. We must really treasure our friends and love them because their existence as our friends is actually God’s grace. Besides loving God, love our friends too because that is God’s command. :)
