True Friends Are God's Gift / myLot

August 1, 2019 10:25pm CST

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10 "9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. " We live in an era where real friends are rare. People usually want to be your "friend" only when it benefits them. However, every now and then, we are blessed enough to find that person who knows how to be a real friend. They are genuine, selfless, honest, and caring. I have found such friend in Carolyn. For years, I honestly thought I would never have a genuine friend. But she is the best and I now claim her as my sister. She is more loyal than most of my biological family. If you are fortunate enough to have such a person in hour life, don't take them for granite. Pray for them, help them, encourage them, and spend time with them. Anyone else have a friend who has been a confidante, advise giver, fun, and inspiring?

everything you wrote here is true. my bestfriend is Jehovah God. after Him is my husband. but outside God and my hubby, the only one i considered as bestfriend is Noemi. sad to say, she lives in Canada she is very likable. during our friendship, we never fight. she is very kind, helpful, polite, honest and generous. theres nothinf i can say against her. i have not found someone like her in 12 years that we have no regular communication but when she comes back to our homeland, we meet.

All of our relationships turn out better when Jesus is our best friend. What a beautiful story.

That is why I am thankful for social media. We can keep in touch with those we love who live far away.

Definition of true friend - A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED. True friends are very rare. So if any one gets it , try to remember their values.

@gnatsmom You are right when you say most people want something from you and do not know how to be a friend. You are very lucky to have found each other.

A real friend is definitely a rare find and I'm glad you were able to find one. I have one best friend i have known almost a decade and i consider her more family than the rest of my family too
