What does it look like to be a follower of Jesus Christ?  What does that mean?

When I get overwhelmed with all the ideas and questions and demands and opinions about what it means to be a Christ follower I go back to the basics…being a good friend.

Here is a quote about friendship…I think it could very well be a quote about Jesus and that it should be a quote about those of us who follow Jesus.

 “Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.”   George Elliot
