TRUE Friendship

Do you know what it means to be a true friend?  A friend loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17).  A friend and brother are supposed to be there, especially during adversity.  A true friend will be there for you no matter what, even if they think you are wrong!  Friendship is what Seung-Hui Cho needed.  Who was his friend—his true friend?  He had some acquaintances.  So do we.  How many true friends—bosom friends—do you have?  There is One that any of us can have…if we but will…

JESUS CHRIST is a true friend!  You can know HIS Friendship through faith.  He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24); we should be that type of friend to others.  Are you?  Am I?  HE is!  We should be!  If we hope to prevent more tragedies like the terrible tragedy on 04/16/07 or the personal tragedy that is ongoing in my own life, then we MUST be a true friend to those around us; a good neighbor.  We must KNOW THE TRUE FRIEND, if we hope to have the agape’ love toward others to be a true friend.

If you haven’t taken time to look at the poems that have come from my own tragedy after the VT Tragedy, then I challenge you to take a look and see how they might challenge and encourage you as well.  Only as we put these truths into practice will we be able to truly prevail!  May many more come to see this after the tragedies in their lives!
