Friends

I am so excited today that I about can't stand it. I get to see people today, people I love. 

I have been so lonely, so hungry for friendship. And what makes this visit today even better is, these are my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I am so excited.

C.S. Lewis says, “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."

I believe those words are so true. Friends are like the jelly on the toast. They bring a sweetness to your life.

I have been really feeling lonely lately. I see and have contact with people everyday, but not friends. I miss my friendships. Friends are so good for us.

For example,

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times,   

Those (friends) who are good are the ones who seek to please God. . (Proverbs 4:14)

1John 4:7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Please value and cherish your friendships. Don't let them wither. Your friends need you as much as you need them. Have a friend, be a friend.

Psalm 119:63

I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts.
