We read yesterday how Jesus wants to be where He is. He wants our company. He wants us to be His friend.

In John 15:14-15, Jesus says, "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knoweth now what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you." How wonderful.

I want to cultivate His friendship, don't you? Get into the habit of listening to Him throughout the day, even in the midst of caring for your little children. You constantly need wisdom. You need His counsel, and He is waiting to give it to you. He says, "Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom" (Proverbs 8:14). He is with you to speak into your heart and guide your way. Be His friend. Let Him talk to you.
