| good friends are as rare as diamonds in a rug... |
Life would be rather lonely if a person had no friends. But for most people, we have more friends than we know what to do with.
It is better to have one friend of great value, than many friends of little value.
So instead of having many, shallow friendships that eventually fade away, invest your time in making good, solid friendships that will last.
A good friend will encourage you to do what is right, stand by you when things are rough, and will challenge you to become more and more like Jesus everyday.
A shallow friend will only deprive you of your walk with the Lord, encourage you to do wrong, and won't stand by during hardships. Don't have or be a shallow friend!
Be a friend that prays.
There is nothing more special than to be in someones thoughts, in someones heart, and in someones prayers.
But if you are a person with little or no friends, or if you are "different" than the rest, don't feel bad, because honestly if you don't fit in, then your'e probably doing the right thing.
However, good friendships don't come easily. You need to work at it.
In order to have a friend, you've got to be a friend.
Be someone's friend today!
