Friends are good to
have. Friends are people that come into
our lives that we can lean on. They
support us. They encourage us. They help us when we need correction. They defend us against those who would attack
us. They love us and try to help us be
better people. They do not drag us down
or lead us into temptation. Everybody
needs friends in their lives.
Friends are necessary
for fellowship. We need to be able to
spend time with friends and feed off their lives. We need to be able to relax with people who
will accept us for who we are and not for who they think we should be. We need people in our lives who make us feel
good about being with them.
We should be careful on
our selection of friends. We need to
befriend those who have good character that we can trust and it takes time to
discern those whom we can really trust.
Some people will appear to be our friends, but will disappoint us when
things go wrong. Some people will betray
our trust in them. Some will forsake us
when it best serves themselves.
Just as you need
genuine, dependable friends in your life, others you know need you to be a
friend to them. They need to know that
you can be depended on to be a help and not a hindrance to their lives.
Are you good friend
material? Only a heart that stays
connected to Christ can be counted on to be a true-blue friend. Only Christ can help us to do what is right
before God and right by others. A person
who is taking care of his soul will take care of others. The Lord needs us to be the real deal. There are people you know who need a godly
person in their lives. You will either
sharpen or dull the life of others. Stay
spiritually sharp and you will sharpen others so that they in turn can sharpen
others.
