Slave, servant and friend

"You don't know how to be a good friend unless you know how to be slave and a servant. Because when you have a good friend, they would enslave themselves for you without question. And a really good friend would become a servant in a heartbeat without even expecting anything in return. Those two things are foundational pieces that enables someone to be an amazing friend, it's not a progression here, it's important to learn all of these." -- Ps Eric Johnson. 

So much to digest and apply in life here. Wise words, pastor.
