2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
What sort of things are you willing to face for your best friend? Are you willing to go through hardships just so their life can be better?
Christ calls each of us to live up to the command to love one another, not just as another Christian, but as someone you care about.
Yes, that is hard, but the rewards are many and as we do this, Christ strengthens us from the inside and keeps us going to spread His gospel and His love.
