Day 8 – A man’s best friend

Below is a picture of my little friend while my second best friend is away. Isn’t she (or he?) cute? It’s the neighbour’s cat which camps in my yard for many hours each day.

Many times we hear the saying dogs are man’s best friend and in my experience the phrase has been applied to males, not ‘man/humankind’ generally.

I wonder whether the saying would be insulting to women or your wives generally?

And how about to Christ when we consider His words in the following verses?

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. John 15:13-14

May Jesus be your best friend FOREVER (and I literally mean ‘forever’).
