Are you a good friend who loves deeply? Maybe you’re asking, “What does it mean to be that kind of friend?” Well, a true friend hears your confession without being shocked. He listens with love as you spill every sordid detail; not because he wants to know, but because you need to confess. Even though he now knows the worst about you he still believes the best. Instead of judging you he says, “Neither do I condemn you…Go…sin no more.”
“Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed.”
— James 5:16 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, help me to be a friend like that—one who listens with love and never judges. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
