Ecclesiastes 4: 10
If one falls down. his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up.
Do you have many friends? Or are they mostly acquaintances?
Who do you count as friends? The people who have you as a friend on facebook?
Recently, Our Daily Bread had a passage about friends and it wrote, FRIENDS...
...listen to our heartaches without blaming us for having problems.
...defend us when we're under attack.
...are happy when we succeed and sad when we fail.
...give us wise counsel to keep us from making foolish choices.
...even risk making us angry for the sake of making us right.
Who does these for you? They are the ones who are your true friends. Perhaps you may not have many. But that is ok, for 1 real friend is worth more than a 100 acquaintances. But if you realize that no one helps you up when you fall down, perhaps its time to re-think how you yourself have been a friend to others, as how you treat others is the same way people treat you.
Just because you don't think highly of me
Doesn't mean that I'll think less of you
I'm really ok if you say you dislike me
For I live to please God and not you
I know I can never make everyone like me
But neither is there anyone just like you
I have to be who God wants me to be
Constantly changing by mercies anew
But should you ever be upset with me
To let me know is up yo you
My prayer is that we may spur each other to be more like Christ
To clothe one another with love and not lies
May we both be praised for being good and faithful
For that's what it means to live life and live it in full
