What Kind of Friend Are You?

This week, I hope you'll be watching my blog for some posts about friends. Names are not going to be mentioned ~ I'm referring to the idea of friendship. The Old Testament man, Job, had three friends. That word, 'friends' is used very loosely! It could be said of those three yoo-hoos, if those are friends, who needs enemies? I suppose they meant well, but they sure didn't bring much to true meaning of friendship. On the other hand, remember David and Jonathan in the Old Testament? If there are any two people who would have been the most unlikely of friends, it would be these two. Jonathan was in line for the throne following his father, Saul. But because of Saul's sin and errors in leading Israel, God chose to anoint David to be their king. Yet Jonathan still loved David with a pure love that was nothing short of incredible! Has God blessed you with a friend like David's? Friends are amazing people. Friends know the good, the bad, and the ugly and still love you. Friends are incredible! I'm thankful for my friends. Whether at work, on the golf course, on the quartet bus, at church, at home. Friends are special! Friends are valuable! When you look in the mirror, which friend would you most likely match? Which one would you LIKE to match? What are you doing to make sure you are being the friend you should be?
