"No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you." John 15:15 ESV. About 30 + years ago I was in a nightclub. I met an old friend who was a big drug dealer and said hi. His rival dealer came by with one of his clients and introduced him. He then looks at me and said he is 24 years old and owns 2 Rolls Royces and a Porshe and a number of other things and he can buy and sell you at any time. I shook his hand and said that is nice, but with all his money, he can't buy my friendship and, it has to be earned. The guy was stunned and later apologized. Jesus calls us friends because he loves us not because of how much stuff he has. Thank you God for all my friends. Bless them for their love and faithfulness in Jesua name. AMEN. BLESSINGS. BD.
