FRIEND

[Guest zoe-girl]

I have had my share of friends through out my life and some are still in my life after many years- , but some for only a reason or a season.

Being a friend a true friend means to give tough love when needed, a shoulder to cry on when needed and to be there when the whole world has left you.

What does it mean to you-

[Guest zoe-girl]

A true friend as you describe is as rare as finding an uncut diamond in your bath tub. If you are lucky, you will meet maybe one throughout the entirety of your life. Everyone else is just an acquaintance.

My dad told me one day you will be able to count your TRUE friends on one hand, then have some fingers left over. We have our TRUE friend in our Father in Heaven, but man was my dad right sometimes,lol.

Hmm.....well I have to say that i too have had my fare share of friends, I have both Christain friends and unsaved friends, I try to balance out the 2, but it is difficult, my unsaved friends want me to go to places that I would not want to go and vice versa.

I guess am trying to say a ture friend should have respect for you and you back. Jesus told us to love our neighbours as we would love ourselves and I try to do that. A true friend is someone who knows all about you and still wants to be your best friend, they are there for you when no ones else is, they give you advice when no one else wants to, they keep you company when no ones wants to be around you, they love you for you and they don't try to be someone else around you.

But I think the bestest friend that any one could ever have is Jesus, he has more love for us than anyone, it was his love for us that made him die on the cross, he cares for us and he protects us.

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;

Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: what ! you too? i thought i was the only one.

The friends that I have now in my life are more like family and we can laugh- and get angry with each other and love oneanother trhough good times and the trials of life- .

The LORD Jesus Christ has always been my friend, constant comforter and counselor. He laid down his life so I would be saved.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

Humanly speaking: My husband is my very best friend in the entire world. I can tell him anything, trust him, he's my soft place. He has shown me Jesus in a very real and tangible way for many years. THAT is a true friend.

God is my most treasured friend, always loves me and always there for me no matter what!
