Some friends bring out the worst in each other.  The friends we select and the relationships we allow to develop out of those friendships can have great positive or negative impacts on our lives. Henry Ford said, “My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.”  Jesus will do that.  He is both Lord and Friend.  He can only be Friend as you obey Him as Lord.  To live with Him and through Him is to be the best you can be.

 “You are My friends if you do what I command you.” John 15:12-14 (NASB)
