Today, I want to share about friendship. It really is a beautiful thing and I hope everyone gets to experience genuine friendship in their lifetime.
Who is a Friend?
To me, a friend is simply someone you know well and have a liking for. You and this person usually have shared interests and live life together.
The righteous should choose his friends carefully
Proverbs 12:26a (NKJV)
Characteristics of a friend
- A friend loves
- A friend adds value
- A friend forgives
- A friend corrects
- A friend helps
- A friend shares
- A friend is good to others
Some notable friendships from the Bible
- God and Abraham
- David and Jonathan
- God and believers
Final Thoughts
I used to be concerned at some point in my life because I felt as though I had no friend, but that wasn’t necessarily true. Even if it was, I came across a Bible verse that changed my perspective and has guided my approach to friendships ever since. I have to take some initiative and be friendly instead of always waiting for someone to reach out.
A man who has friends must himself be friendly,
Proverbs 18:24 (NKJV)
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother
How did you meet your best friend or closest friends? What do you love about them?
