While You Wait Wednesday

Hey everyone, and welcome to While You Wait Wednesday! Today, let’s reflect on a powerful truth: “I am a friend of God.”

Remember the “Friend of Jesus” video? It reminds us that our relationship with Jesus is deeply personal. He calls you a friend. Take a moment now and affirm it: “I am a friend of Jesus.” Let that sink in.

Being a friend of Jesus means we also learn how to be a friend like Jesus. How did He show friendship? With love, compassion, and by showing up.

Here’s your call to action this week:

  1. Reach Out: Connect with someone you know loves Jesus. Share encouragement and let them pour into you. Friendship is a two-way street!
  2. Show Up: Think of someone who might be struggling. Reach out to them with an act of kindness this week. A simple text, a coffee, or just listening can make a huge difference.
  3. Connect: Want to learn more about building community while you wait? Join the While You Wait Ministries community! We’re here to support each other on this journey. [Link to While You Wait Ministries community/website]

You are not alone. You are a friend of God, and you are surrounded by a community that cares. Have a blessed While You Wait Wednesday!

Blessings,

Dr. Melville✨
