DEVELOPING TRUE AND LASTING FRIENDSHIP

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

TOPIC: DEVELOPING TRUE AND LASTING FRIENDSHIP

TEXT: " A friend loves at all times" (Proverbs 17:17 NKJV).

If you want frienship, you cannot always be the strong one. This can be a frightening reality, particularly if you've been hurt or manipulated by someone you once trusted. But a true friend will have to see you in your weakness at one time or the other and this can be the acid test for your relationship. Because the test of true frienship is whether or not you will be accepted after your weaknesses come to  light.

True friends serve each other. When was the last time you performed the act of servanthood for a friend to whom you are devoted. If you can't remember, you are probably living in core loneliness. A friend is someone you commit to not because of what they can do for you but because they're your friend. And friends listen. Even though they are busy. Listening is an act of love. It says I'm going to put my agenda on hold, and devote myself to knowing and caring for you. furthermore, when something goes right, friends celebrate. Do you do that? When was the last time that one of your friends had God bless them and you threw a party?

If you are not in this type of true and lasting relationship now you can't make it happen. But you can open yourself up to it. You can start pursuing it. You can ask God to guide you. You can take little rational risks. And if you already have friends like this, prize them. Protect them, enrich them in every way and take that friendship as deep as you can.
