What do you do to maintain your most important friendships? Dinner together periodically? Phone calls? Coffee? Texting? Activities you both enjoy? Regardless how you remain close with your friends, the common denominators seem to be mutual affection, shared interests, and time spent together. Why do you think friendships drift apart? That’s a more difficult question to answer. If Jesus has called his followers “friends” and wants us to stay in close relationship with him, how can we maintain that friendship? The good news is that Jesus is a friend who never drifts away or gives up on us.
