"TO BEAR WITNESS that I AM the LIVING SON OF GOD" Vol. 3


752. Seek My Friendship and Then You Will Have a
True and Lasting Friend  (June 2, 1994)
        George was concerned that some of Nancy's friends were taking up
her time that should be spent with God.  Nancy's many friends wanted to
talk with her on the phone or be with her in person.  They did not realize
this prevented Nancy from devoting the minimum of three hours a day to
prayer that Jesus requested of her.  Nancy needed this prayer time to
receive help and strength from Jesus.
        George began reading aloud Chapter 93 on page 180 in "My Daily
Bread".  The title of the chapter was "Human Friendships".


"As soon as a sacrifice is
required, so many of these
so-called friends are busy
with other matters."

        In this chapter Jesus said, "My child, how many friends stand by you
when you need them?  As soon as a sacrifice is required, so many of
these so-called friends are busy with other matters."
        George skipped a paragraph and read: "Do not overestimate earthly
friendships.  Sooner or later you must leave your friends, or they must
leave you.  If you depend too much on any human companion, you will
have to bear a painful separation later.  Human friendship needs My
blessing."
        George then read the reflection at the end of the chapter: "All true
friendships must be based on virtue and loyalty to Christ.  Unless I am
helping my friends in some way to live a better life, I am not a true
friend.  So, too, people who are not helping me become a better person,
are not real friends of mine, but useless acquaintances."  After George
read the words "useless acquaintances" and before he could continue,
Jesus entered the conversation and spoke to Nancy.
        Jesus said, "My friendship is the only true and lasting friendship.
        "I will tell you why: Because I am all Truth, because My Love
alone is perfect.
        "Seek My Love.  Seek My friendship and then you will have a true
and lasting friend.
        "Remember I give you all that you need.
        "Human friendships are lacking in perfection.
        "My motive is pure.
        "I desire you to come unto Me forever.
        "Oh, My little children, you look for love in all the wrong places.
You look for friendships in all the wrong places.
        "Place your life, place your trust in Me.
        "Share those words with My children."  [Jesus was referring to the
words George was reading from Chapter 93 of "My Daily Bread".]
