Friends Have Friends
Proverbs 18:24, Luke 10:30-37, Proverbs 19:17
There is nothing quite like having a good friend; everyone would like to have a few good friends. However, we are reminded in the Bible that if one wants friends one must be friendly. As a sincere, obedient believer and follower of Christ one should:
Be kind
Be merciful
Be helpful to those in need
Speak good and encouraging words
Reach out to the needy and give what is needed
One’s actions speak great volumes or as it has been said, “your actions speak louder than your words.” In a world of fear and distrust, it is good for the follower of Christ to be friends and show people the love of Christ… by doing so, drawing others to a knowledge and belief in Christ. Being a true ambassador of the Lord is shown through being friendly for the glory of God.
Prayer: Show me Lord the things in my life that I need to change so I will be a better friend.
