Waiting & Listening—Jn.
3:29
I’m going to spend this year as a friend of the Master, learning friendship from Him.
So that He can make me a better friend to others.
I’m going to learn to love deeply, sacrificially, courageously.
I’m going to stick close as a brother to Jesus.
I’m going to wait & Listen for Him.
I’m going to learn my Master’s business.
Then, I’m going to be this kind of friend to those who are desiring to be friends as well.
Will you join me?
