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.
