Have you
had your Joy Juice today? There is more than enough to share with your friends!
Friendship
is one of the most rewarding gifts that we can ever experience. A good friend is truly a treasure. If you’ve been blessed with a genuine friend
who sticks with you through the tough times, as well as the good, then consider
yourself extremely blessed. But may I
warn you, along with laughter and fun times…there will also be times of difficulty
and tears.
Most of us
find it easy to be with folks when we are having a good time. But what about
when that friend becomes sick or is going through a time of difficulty? Often we don’t know what to do, so we pull
away and do nothing. Is that what true
friendship is? No….a genuine
relationship is one that goes beyond “doing”.
It involves being:
- Being there when your friend needs a shoulder to cry on.
- Being a listening ear, though you don’t have all the answers.
- Being a prayer partner that will intercede when they don’t feel like praying.
- Being a presence in their lives to represent the love of God.
God didn’t call us to be human
doings…but human “beings”. Let’s BE all that Christ created us to BE
by allowing Him to love through us.
As Proverbs 18:24 says: (NKJV) “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Joyfully thank the Lord for those kinds of
friends in your life…and BE one!
