What is a Friend?
















What is a Friend?

"A friend loves at all times..."
Proverbs 17:17

What is Love?

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:4-13
"But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restored and sorrows end."
-William Shakespeare



What does a friend mean to you? Do we take our friends for granted or do we cherish their love and thank our Lord for them? A friend loves at ALL times and love is the greatest thing of all. Does it not then follow that friends are the greatest things of all? We are blessed people and friends are some of the most dear things in our lives. Without them, we would be lonely and our faith in only our dear Jesus would grow faint. It is a gift from Him that we have someone to share this temporary life on Earth with! Blessed be his name that he would not forsake us and that he would not leave us!

We are all brothers and sisters.








I LOVE You All My Friends!
