Who Am I to Jesus? A friend or client? There are many differences between clients and friends. Clients seek service, but friends seek relationships. Clients leave after their transaction, but friends stick with you in good and bad times. Clients quickly move on to someone else when they think you have nothing to offer, but friends remain for life. Clients never stop complaining, but friends are always understanding. Who am I to Jesus?

Jesus is not against family members, but He recognises that sometimes, those we love may act as obstacles to God’s will. On occasions when we have to choose between God and family, Jesus says: “God first.” He even added this warning: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” (Matthew 10:37).

When we receive miracles, we are happy, but when we repent of sin, God is happy. If after receiving miracles, we fail to repent of our sinfulness, God is not happy with us. God would never stop loving us, but if we seek happiness from God, let us also behave in a way that would make God happy with us.
