Friendships

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Proverbs 17:17 "He who is a friend is always a friend." 

A friendly person is fun to be around. They are upbeat and look for the best in those they meet. You feel safe to share your feelings with those who feel what you feel. Friendliness adds emotional energy to the conversation and encouragement to the heart.

Friends want to be around friends who have the capacity to listen and love. Friendly takes the risk to make friends and follows with steps to retain friends. Friends care! A bond of trust and loyalty grows between two friends who try to out serve each other. Pray for your friends and be emotionally available to enter into their world.

Most importantly, lock arms with the Lord Jesus in your growing friendship with Him. Your maturing friendship with Christ will develop your capacity to love and care for your friends. Friendship with God brings reality to relationships on earth.
