Topic: FRIEND/FRIENDSHIP
Word: Proverbs 18:24 KJV
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Here's My Take:
Different Dictionary Definitions(DDD)
Cambridge dictionary defined it as "a person who you know well and who you like a lot, but who is usually not a member of your family"
Almost all the Dictionaries are saying the same thing: knowing. Who you know very well should be who you should call friend. But it goes on to say...not a member of your family. Family here connotes so many things. It could be same Church, same tribe, same occupation, same organization, etc.
Just like I said, don't make friends out of sentiment; because he is from your side then he should become your friend. And you'll say, he's the only person from my side in this locality. In case if anything happens to me, he'll report back home. Hahaha.
This shouldn't be the basis for making Friendship. If such should be your reason, then it's acquaintance not friendship.
Friendship could be "family" and could go beyond that. Have a liberal mind when it comes to making friends, because your family may not be everywhere. Their ideologies may be one sided. For instance, if your friends are only from your tribe, their mentalities may likely be same. But when you involve different tribes, you'll have other mentalities added.
Conclusion:
Great men are versatile and open minded in their relationship. They're not one sided. To be better in anything you do, you have to know(go) your left, right, front and back.
Song:
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you, I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you, I hear a song
I look to you
Prayer:
Father bring me close to my friends and let them help to bring out the best in me. Amen.
Do you trust God???
