We read in the Bible about how great it is to lay down one’s life for a friend: It’s the ultimate sacrifice of love, and, basically, if done with a pure heart and no mortal sins, I feel like that’s the elevator straight into heaven.
But what happens when we are called upon to lay down just a LITTLE of our lives for our friends?
What if your friend and you like the same guy and he expresses interest in her?
What if you drove to a party and you’re having an absolute blast, but your friend gets sick and needs to leave?
What if your friend is in utter despair bordering on suicidal thoughts, you’re on the phone with him, and it seems as though you are helping somewhat, but it’s going on 3am, and you have to get up in 4 hours for work?
What if your friend’s car breaks down an hour away and you’re the only one she can get ahold of, but you had other plans you’ll have to miss completely if you go get her?
Now obviously there’s a fine line between laying down your life for a friend and just letting them walk all over you…
BUT, when your friends have a time that they really need someone that they can depend upon… Are they able to call you? Will you come through?
