“Praise the Lord Beloved, Happy Saturday to everyone of you.
You know, real friendship is almost non-existent. There are some, but not many. Even in Jesus’ day friendship was at a minimum supply. So,we actually shouldn’t be alarmed, or surprised when a friend(s) or even family members the one(s) we thought were loyal to us, throws us under the bus, try to publicly humiliate us, or turn their backs when we need them the most.
You know Beloved, a loyal friendship is created. They’re not instantly manufactured. A loyal friendship isn’t a merry-go-round. They’re like deep rooted Oak trees. Proverbs 18:24 says: There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. According to John 15:12, Jesus gave us the value of a real friendship when He said, “Love one another as I have loved you.”
Beloved, God has blessed you with grace and favor, so you have the power to choose who your friends are and not someone choosing you to be their friend. Jesus is our great example. While Jesus was here on earth He chose who would roll with Him. According to John 15:16 Jesus said, “You did not choose me, but I chose you…” and the ones Jesus chose didn’t live a perfect lifestyle. Beloved, no one is perfect!!! So, a loyal friend doesn’t have to have a perfect lifestyle to be your devoted friend. They’ll always be your loyal friend because that’s the desire God has place in their heart (mind and emotions) for you.
So, this weekend Beloved, be a real friend, by accepting those that need you to be a loyal friend to them.
Have a blessed weekend Everyone.
