Who's in your Corner?

 
"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT'S WHO YOU KNOW"
 
We've all heard the adage. I'm not sure where it originated or how but it is true. Have you?  A banker may overlook a bad credit score to loan money if he knows you. An employer will hire you over an educated, experienced person if you're a friend of a friend of a friend. People will buy from you just because of an existing relationship! Can you think of some situations where it's more important to know someone and not knowing some thing?

My son-in-law is trying to break into the music business. His group has a manager and a booking agent. Sydnee and I were discussing his tour schedule and how he had to "know" someone to get into some top venues. She said "It's always better to have someone in your corner!" She's right. We always get better results when we have an advocate, someone who's pulling for us, someone who has our backs and someone who knows someone.

The same adage is true for everyday life and eternity. When life holds us down for the count, we need someone in our corner who knows us and we know them. The Bible says in Isaiah 28:16 " Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste." Jesus is in our corner! "Knowing" him secures us an eternal home in heaven. The knowledge that Jesus is the Son of God and he died for our sins is not enough to go to heaven.. You must "know" Jesus as your personal Savior and he know you. You must believe he is your advocate with the Heavenly Father proving truly....

Is Jesus your Friend?

i-want-you

How healthy are your relationships? Think about your relationship with your parents, siblings, children, friends, spouse and co-workers. Relationships are the most valuable asset we invest in as individuals.  Have you thought about your affect on people, good or bad? Your affect people is clearly visible.. Are your relationships growing stronger or weaker? Is your circle of influence growing or shrinking? Does your family surround you or are you alone?

Proverbs 18:24 encourages with these words "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Are you friendly? Webster's defines friendly as kind and helpful; not hostile. If your friends described you in one word, what would it be? How would Jesus describe you? Giving or needy? Would he describe you as a child he hears from only when you need something?

I cherish my relationships. I get excited hearing from you. I am so thankful to hear something I wrote encouraged you. I just like to receive a quick "Hi!".  I see my daughters every day but I never tire of them. My love for them grows stronger every time we spend time together. Can you imagine how Jesus feels when we talk to him or more importantly, when we don't? You might try to excuse yourself by saying he's got so many people talking to him he won't even notice I don't! Think again. Jesus wants you as his friend. He wants a personal relationship with you. Relationships are hard work. I've always heard if something is worth having, it is worth working for.

Our relationship with Jesus is the perfect example of how to restore all relationships. Confess your faults, ask forgiveness and then accept forgiveness. Start restoring your relationships today. William Penn said "A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably." Does this describe you, friend?

Friendly,
Tammy
