Godly Friends
Heys FRIENDS!
Friends Friends Friends Friends Friends...
We all need friends.
God didn't make eve just to help make babies!
He provided her for a friendship.
God didn't put you in church just to talk to yourself or worship God yourself.
If he did, the preacher would preach to himself.
You'll even be talking to YOURSELF at fuel.
That's insane!
Thats why i said... we need friends, GODLY friends.
What does it mean to have a Godly friend?
To keep each other in prayer, to share the ups and downs.
When i mean share, i mean SHARE.
Be open about your life! If you are facing troubles, be honest with your friends.
You don't have to hide about your struggles. True friends will be the ones that will stand by you.
Both of you should share in the same values and hold the ultimate goal of helping each other grow in God.
For me, i have 2 friends in particular who mean alot to me. They are people whom I'm accountable to. One of them moved to new zealand 7 years ago, but we mained the friendship by calling and emailing. The other (yes she's in singapore) we connect at a very deep level. Initially we started by co-leading our cell, but then we grew to start sharing about our every step we took in our walk with God. The more we shared, the more we grew, in the friendship and in the spirit.
Love and encourage one another.
Be a friend, find a friend.
"A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24).
What it means is that it is better to have one good friendship, than have many friendships that amount to nothing.
So, as we return to school, we search for the friends.
Do pray about it. But more than that, don't discount the friends that you have in church!
Be my friend!
Love, Sis Mich
