New Friend Request from ___.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Confirm \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Not Now<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You have to make a choice.\u00a0 You have to click either “Confirm” or “Not Now.” \u00a0 Do you know this person?\u00a0 Do you want to know more about him?\u00a0 Do you want to share your posts with him or her?\u00a0 Do you want to have a relationship with this person?<\/span><\/p>\n

One of life’s greatest mysteries is that Jesus- the one and only Son of God- wants to have a “friendship” with… you.\u00a0 Or me of all people.\u00a0 Sound crazy?\u00a0 Well, check out some of Jesus’ own words…<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t
John 15:13-16…<\/strong> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.\u00a0 You are my friends if you do what I command. \u00a0 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Revelation 3:20…<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. <\/span><\/p>\n

(NIV-\u00a0 New International Version)<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

As we approach this Easter season, know that God loves you enough to send His Son to die for you.\u00a0 And through His Son, God wants to have a relationship with you.\u00a0 He wants you to see His page and He wants to read your posts and see your pictures.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

God wants to be your friend.\u00a0 CONFIRM<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 or\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 IGNORE<\/span> ???<\/span><\/p>\n
