Jesus invites us beyond mere belief into a genuine friendship where we share everything with Him. This relationship begins with small steps of trust, as seen in Simon Peter's story of following Jesus' instruction to fish again after a fruitless night. True friendship with Jesus develops through spending time together in Scripture, prayer, silence, and service. As we deepen this relationship, we're transformed—our prayers change, we see others differently, and we become more compassionate, forgiving, and gracious. The goal isn't just reaching heaven but becoming so full of Jesus that others glimpse God through our lives.
