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!

Encouragement for the Weary

Psalms 42:5-6

"Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil
within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise
him,
my salvation and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and Hermon
from Mount Mizar."

The Beatitudes

"And he opened his mouth and taught
them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they
shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
for righteousness' sake, for theirs in the kingdom
of heaven.
Blessed are you when other revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:2-12

My friends, my prayers are for you! I love you all exceedingly as my sisters and brothers in Christ and want to encourage you!

Here I am sitting in my sister's room on a caregroup night when I noticed a most beautiful sunset. I am an absolute sucker for sunsets and I had to take a picture. They remind me most of God's promise to us as Christians that someday we will live with him in Paradise.
