Our scripture for today reminds us of the need to celebrate
the gift of friends. There are some who do not cherish the blessing of having
friends until they encounter some alienation. We all need friends and must
acknowledge it. There are people who say somebody is their friend but let the
person do all the visiting and calling. When they are having an event they want
others to show solidarity but when their friends need them they will come up
with excuses. A friend must show himself friendly. Celebrate the gift of friends
and your life will become colorful and pleasant. Take time today to let your
friends know that you appreciate them. Do or say something that will encourage
them and strengthens your friendship. Let your friends know that you are not a
fair weather friend and you will be amazed the blessing that will follow.
Do not make your friends feel that you are better than them
and much more advantaged. There are things you need that only that person can
give you. You must try to make the person feel appreciated and loved. The gift
of true friends will keep you and help you through life’s challenges, do not
cut off your life line, do all you can to increase it. If you have any
opportunity to add to your friends please do, only be careful enough to find
out if the two of you can walk together. Amos 3:3. Thank God for all your friends and ask God to
help you improve your friendship. Daily
