FRIENDSHIP Society uses the term friendship loosely. Social networking websites like Facebook connect us with scores of friends simultaneously - yet many of them are only acquaintances, not true friends. The following passages unveil the meaning of a true friend. This is someone who brings out the best in you, who loves and gives unselfishly. This the person who speaks the truth with kindness - and when others criticize you, stand in your defense. Friendship is never one-sided because to have a friend, you must be a friend. Think of your very best friend. Dose he/she reflect the attributes of a true friend? Do you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. PROVERBS 27:17 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. LUKE 11:5-8 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. PROVERBS 17:17 24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. PROVERBS 18:24 14 “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty. JOB 6:14
