When I signed up for a popular internet social network, I was shocked to be greeted with the words, "You have no friends." Although I knew it was untrue, I still felt sad for a moment. the idea that anyone, even an impersonal website, would call me friendless was upsetting. friends are essential for our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
friends listen to our heartaches without blaming us for having problems. they defend us when we're under attack. they are happy when we succeed and sad when we fail. they give us wise counsel to keep us from making foolish choices. they even risk making us angry for the sake of making us right. my friends have done all of this and more for me.
perhaps the best-known friendship in the Bible is that of Jonathan and David. Jonathan was heir to the throne of his father, Saul. but he knew that the Lord has chosen David for that role, so he risked his own life to save his friend.
as the Bible shows us, we need to choose friends carefully. the very best friends are those who are friends with God and who strengthen our relationship with Him.
I do not ask for many friends..But give me,Lord, the few..
whose loyalty and faithfulness..are first of all to You..
True friends are like diamonds.. precious and rare :)
