Friendships Are Personal

It is ironic that I am going to write on friendship, yet I tend to be reclusive.
I have come to realize, based on past experiences that as a general rule people do not speak about there friends, but rather have a relationship with them. In observation, why is it then that people are offended when you mention God and Jesus? Are we programed to think of believers as desperadoes, or are we focused too much on what others think? What about this: A conversation takes place and Jose's name comes up, how is his name intertwined in the story? When we talk about Jesus or God' are there names presented the same way, or is His name presented with bias? If we read a Biography on a person's life then act the way that person did does that make him/her our friend? So then if you were to talk about ( the person in the biography) in a conversation, presenting him/her as your friend, wouldn't that seem a bit odd? Do you see where I am going with this? Perhaps then, Jesus would be a person/spirit others would want to get to know if our level of  presentation were different. Friendships are personal, and if we love the way someone has lived in the past, then walk the walk. We believers our blessed with gifts of glory when we do this, as I have many a testimony. I am not a person to brag but I am truly thankful!
Have a wonderful day!
