Say,Say My Playmate

Remember the children's song Say, Say My Playmate? The lyrics of this song are of one friend beckoning another to come out and play. Personally, I can hear little children singing loud and clear "Say, say my playmate- Come out and play with me!" Can you hear them in your mind, so young, gleaful, and carefree?

In the book of John chapter 15 Jesus tells us that we are His friends if we do what He asks us to. So think on this... if you are listing to Christ and doing what He says - You are His friend - His playmate. Just think Jesus is singing to you or even calling out to you, "Come out and play with me!"? He wants to spend time with you and build a close friendship with you. Next time you hear Jesus call out your name, listen - He wants to spend time with you - He wants you to come out and play.

Take some time today to enjoy your relationship with Jesus. You will come away refreshed, like you just got done playing with the closest of friends. What a wonderful friend we have in Jesus!
