It's important to remember too that every friendship is so different. Like I even look at how Jesus modeled his relationships with his friends. He had his inner circle who were kind of the people he ran with the most, his disciples that were all mission minded. They all were walking with him, believed what he believed, believed in him.
And then he had the people that he was friends with that he ministered to. He ate with the tax collectors. Like he was literally described as a friend of sinners. And I remember in high school when I first started becoming close to my best friend, I told you guys like we did not share the same faith. She was Catholic, but she really wasn't a like she, you know, she grew up in Brazil.
So they all just say they're Catholic. She told me we were all just Catholic. And I actually remember a lot of people in my life coming to me, not my family, but at school, coming to me and telling me, you are not supposed to be friends with her. She's the craziest girl in school. Like, what are you doing talking to her? She's going to lead you astray. She's going to do this.
She's going to do that. And, you know, they even used verses against it. but something didn't sit right on the inside of me. And so I sought out what God's word said for myself. And I realized like Jesus was a friend of sinners. He didn't come to save the perfect people. He came to save the center, which we all are. And so in that moment, I really began to ask God like, okay, what are you called?
What do you call him in to do? Because I don't want to be led astray, but also this is what we're here for. This is why I'm here. Also, I love this person. And when I'm with her, it doesn't grieve my spirit. I'm not in a situation. It's not like I'm going to the club with her. I'm going to a party with her. Like we're just hanging out.
I'm there for her to talk to, to like confide in, to pull her higher, like and invite her to church, to come with me, to hang out with me, bring her into my world, you know, show her what a life without all of these things that are driving her into shame really feels like. And I think if we are so quick to,
to have a Pharisee mindset of just shutting off people because they don't believe what we believe and it makes us uncomfortable, we're missing the whole point that we're here for.
