Dependability
These friends show up when the bell is rung and even when it’s not, they keep promises, do what they say and say what they mean, and take a stand with and for us. In this age, there is no time for drama, depends on which way the wind is blowing friends.
No one is Superman or Superwoman in every phase of life but these friends are “We Can Be Counted On” types...
Trust
When we can be most free to speak our heart, soul, mind and the honest exchange of ideas, thoughts, feelings has no barriers, well, we have found something worth investing in and growing.
That there is a safety to be ourselves and we are in a safe place to be the whole being that we are, it’s a wonderful thing.
And There’s Always Good News Medicine…
1. Friendship Is A Gift From God
We have this great privilege to make, grow and cherish friends in life, Jesus even taught by example the blueprint for quality friendships. He offers us the greatest friendship imaginable!
John 15:13-15 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
2. A True Friend Is..Well….True….
Proverbs 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
It’s a beautiful thing to have great friendships; they make life sweeter and walking the road of life more purposeful, supportive.
The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.
But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm.
But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.
A key component of a satisfied life are the friends we keep. I know they just don’t happen; we must grow them and when we need wisdom concerning the friends we have and the friends we need, we can always ask God who generously gives wisdom to those who ask……
So, when it comes to friendships, it may take some work but growing healthy relationships goes a long way to complement the one who seeks to walk a Satisfied life!
