A reminder for
today
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and
there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24)
Best friends forever. Do you have one of those? I friend
that has stuck with you through thick and thin. I have a friend like that, but
the sad thing is we haven’t seen each other for years. We live in different cities
and life as we know does not stop for anyone, so time just bounced by us, but
we chat little from time to time to keep updated. Why are friends so important?
Well when I look at the last few weeks and how great it was
to have a few friends around to listen and support me, I must admit that the
value of friendship is impossible to measure. I never really had many friends
and to be honest my marriage did not keep many of friends since my friends at that
time was not good for my marriage. You see I was (used to be) a very sociable
lad and of course I had many sociable friends that loved to go out and have a
few drinks and we all know drinks and friends and away from your home is not
always a good thing. So, it caused a little unnecessary unhappiness and I realised
that it is better to stick to my wife than to have these guys around.
So, since then I did not have many friends but lately in my
distress a added a few friends to my list and believe me they came just at the
right time. Now, with that in mind I want to remind you that true friendship is
far more valuable than all the gold in the world. True friends will always tell
you the truth and they are the people that pray the most for you. They are there
when you are going through good times to applaud you and they are there in your
bad times to help you carry your burden.
They are rare and very few can manage the role, but to have
one is true gift from God and they are often as valuable in our lives as our
guardian angels are. Therefore, I wish to challenge you to be that kind of
friend and to be the one that supports, protects and defend your friends
verbally and on your knees in prayer.
Thank you for being my friend and standing with me through
all my challenges. You remain in prayers, my friend.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
