Have you ever had a friend randomly pop into your head? And then once you've thought about them you can't get them out? Or perhaps have you ever just felt that something was wrong or bothering a friend even though you have no idea why you felt that way? I like to think of these feelings as my "spidey senses. " See I think God tickles our spidey senses when He is calling us to action, that is, when He has something particular in mind for us to do on behalf of our friends.
I don't know how but humans, especially friends, seem to have this core connection. Perhaps this is the thing that enables us to love so deeply, or perhaps it is that special "connection" that we seem to feel in the presence of particular people. Needless to say, it exists and I truly believe it is something to listen to.
So the next time that friend pops into your head, ask the Lord what He wants you to do. Perhaps you need simply pray for them, perhaps you ought to call or email them and let them know you are thinking of them, perhaps He will move you to treat them to coffee or lunch. No matter what the call is, I urge you to listen to Him. Not only will you bless your friend and tickle their heart, you will also bless yourself. Just think back to a time in which you acted selflessly and were able to make a difference in someone's day... didn't it make you feel pleased? When we choose to live selflessly, we put our life into perspective. Once we've done that we realize that we have the choice to make a difference in the world, even small ones like making friends smile, and then we are truly living to our full potential.
So learn to be sensitive to your spidey senses, and in turn your friends.
