friendship

Charity and friendship is the same thing

For some, friendship is natural. For others, it takes effort. But friendship isn't dependent on personality, but identity - our identity in Christ. Our identity is Christ, who love others as Christ did.

We have to... no..
We get to,  yes

Be someone who cares, like how Christ would care

In our chat - ask:
Do we care of least of our friends?

Invite them to kopi, to lunch, to dinner.
Show affection:
- to have real affection for others
- to show the affection like how Christ did, very naturally

Friendship means taking risk - to care, which may entail rejection. But it's ok, jesus was rejected by ppl too.. the rich man
