A
reminder for today
When
three of Job's friends heard of the tragedy he had suffered, they got together
and travelled from their homes to comfort and console him. (Job 2:11)
What would you like for Christmas? The greatest gift
anyone could have is family and friends. Christmas is all about giving, because
God gave His only son to free us from sin and take the burden upon His
shoulders. To spend Christmas with family and friends is how it should
be. Job was in pain from the terrible boils that he had. His friends heard
about his tragedy and went to visit him. This is so awesome; this is what
friendship is all about. We should stick together and support each other
through good times and through bad times. Now you will love these verses:
When
they saw Job from a distance, they scarcely recognized him. Wailing loudly,
they tore their robes and threw dust into the air over their heads to show
their grief. Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and
nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great
for words. (Verse 12-13)
That is so cool. They shared in his grief, but what is so
amazing is that they spend seven days with him not saying a word. Do you have a
friend like that? A friend that will be with you, understanding you and supporting
you, without even saying a word. My dear friend, now that is a true friend. Let
us take this into Christmas and be true friends that will support our friends
no matter what.
The
language of friendship is not words but meanings. – Henry David Thoreau
True
friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable. – David
Tyson Gentry
A
friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been,
accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow. – William
Shakespeare
A
friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you. – Elbert Hubbard
My
best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. – Henry Ford
Friendship
is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it
is one of those things which give value to survival. – C.S. Lewis
Never
leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life–and
they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
– Dean Koontz
Thank you for being my friend and sharing in my life. You
are so valuable to me and even if we have not met, there is a bond between us
in Jesus Christ, which makes our friendship truly special.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
