True Friends!

If you had to describe a true friend, how would you do it? Perhaps you would say someone that accepts you for who you are or someone who keeps your secret or someone you can trust no matter what. Perhaps it is as simple as someone you can be yourself with. Well there are many forms of friends, as we can all attest to.

Some pretend for a while to be your friend and then turn against you. Other friends involve maintenance; they are good to go as long as you give them lots of attention. Then there is the ultimate friend, one that loves you for who you are mistakes and all. They help guide you spiritually; they are genuinely concerned with your health, your life and your relationship to God. They are truly concerned about you getting to heaven with them. You can not see them for months or even years and pick up right where you left off. These special friends are few and far between and I appreciate all the ones that God has put in my life. I know there are some that I haven't even met yet and that is awesome! Jesus said “Greater Love Hath No Man Than To Lay Down His Life For His Friend”. What kind of friend are you?
