SOME FRIENDS NEED TO BE TASTED LIKE ANY GOOD WINE
''Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his/her fellow; but woe to him/her who is alone when he/she falls and has not another to lift him/her up.
And though a man/woman might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him/her. A threefold cord is not quickly broken" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10,12) (RSV).
A true friend is a blessing from God and he/she needs a great nurturing and kept as a true treasure as the rare and wonderful gift of the heart. This friend includes God. He bonds the code very well and He maintains it.
We all need someone we share our thoughts, joys, sorrows, pains, doubts, confusion with. This is the value of friendship. But the highest value of friendship is attained when two people come together to serve God and to do His will. When this happens nothing is impossible and great things can be accomplished. The catch frase is the "to do God's will."
Friends need each other, time to time. Your friend should know you very well enough to factor in exactly what to do or say. Have you ever wondered why God such things happen in your friendship? He joins us in friendship to learn from each other, to work on joint project together. He wants that we provide each other with comfort and solacein time of need. someone who is never afraid to call a spade a spade. Just being there and offer your support. (Job 2:11-13).
Friendship requires time and commitment. A true friend is not someone who is simply there for us when it's beneficial. A real friend is there even when it's incovenient. Real friendship involves compromise and acceptance.
Developing the trust that any meaningful relationship requires takes time. One has to be patient with friends, but it is equally important that we be honest with ourselves and others with whom we are blessed to build a friendship.
"There are friends who pretend to be friends,
but there is a friends who sticks
closer than a brother". (Proverbs 18:24).
You may spend alot of these "fake friends" and get quite close to them, but if you think about it, most of your time is probably spent doing nonproductive things. We have to watch whom we entangle ourselves with in the name of friendship.
"Make no friendsship with a man
given to anger,
norgo with awrathful man,
lest you learn his ways and
entangle yourself in a snare.... " (Proverbs 22:24-25).
It is very important to sorround yourself with positive people, going from ten fake friends to one good friend, but you are better off, and better for it. It is your friendship that will bring you back to the centre. To have a friend you have to be friendly, nothing more than that. If you are fortunate to have good friends, jajajajajaja count your blessings.
A real friend will tell you when you are doing wrong, has your interest at heart and tells you what is right too.
A real friend is there when you need him/her even though you may only see the person from time to time. You can go a month or maybe even a year without talking, but when you finally connect, you simply pick up right from where you left.
When you are in trouble the person is there for you, even if it means dropping, everything and flying halfway around the world...a friend will.
A real friend accepts you the way you are. They dont care about your job title or the car you drive or your social status. They dont have to dress like you or talk like you or try to duplicate each other. You dont have to compete with your friends, a friend respects your individuality.
