"Speechless" is the best word I can come up with when I find out that this person I thought was my friend isn't really my friend. Life is challenging at times when it comes to friends. ..sometimes you dont know who really is your friend... I think sometimes we even forget what it means to actually be a friend because we get into this selfish way of thinking. What can somebody do for me? Instead of What can I do for the person? So messed up!Personally, I would rather know first hand that the person is really as much as my friend as I am there's I cannot think of a person that would rather be lied too. Okay, I could use a personal story on this topic but I would rather not. This is not a gossip column. Lets just say I am praying for broken friendships and i am praying that the friendships I develop that I am and can be a real friend to them and that they would be a real friend to me. I know for certain one friend that is not and will never be a foe. God! Everyone else you never know! You just have to trust that person to be a real friend and hope for the best.
Proverbs 17:17
New Century Version (NCV)
17 A friend loves you all the time,
and a brother helps in time of trouble.
Luke 6:31
New Century Version (NCV)
31 Do to others what you would want them to do to you.
Ephesians 4:29-32
New Century Version (NCV)
29 When you talk, do not say harmful things, but say what people need—words that will help others become stronger. Then what you say will do good to those who listen to you.30 And do not make the Holy Spirit sad. The Spirit is God's proof that you belong to him. God gave you the Spirit to show that God will make you free when the final day comes.31 Do not be bitter or angry or mad. Never shout angrily or say things to hurt others. Never do anything evil.32 Be kind and loving to each other, and forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ.
Colossians 3:12-14
New Century Version (NCV)
12 God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you. So you should always clothe yourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Bear with each other, and forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, forgive that person because the Lord forgave you. 14 Even more than all this, clothe yourself in love. Love is what holds you all together in perfect unity.
CS Lewis writes:“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”
