Genuine friendship is hard to find.
If God has blessed you with an intimate friendship, be diligent to devote time and effort to develop geniune friendship.
Do you have a friend whom you share your joys and sorrows, strengths and weakness, fears and pain?

I think the only determining factor on having a genuine relationship with your friend is through the test of time. If you are still friends with your best friend for over a decade or longer... that means, he/she is honest with the friendship. Regardless of the hardships in life, if your friend is there no matter what. Then, that friend is always for keeps.

I agree on that JR,, the test of time. I haven't seen my best friend in high school for almost 3 decades, then last December someone messaged me on fb , and really surprised it was my best friend. Good thing she is living in nearby city so almost every weekend she came to my house with her kids . Nothing has changed the way we treated each other , we became closer like real sister , we cherished our moment together . For me our friendship is genuine .

Yes, I do have a friend like that. I feel a friend is one that accepts you for who you are and you accept them the same way also. Someone that supports you and you support them. Someone that knows you are an honest person and believes you when you want to share something that happened with them and you do the same for them.

I feel like both friends have to want that. Put time energy into it. Talk through problems and talk to each other through whatever but also not demand them spend a lot of time responding to you because sometimes people need to be alone and a lot of people dont understand what you need and it can cause disagreements. I have a good friend who i can share all those with

You are right. Genuine friendship is precious and we should really invest time and effort to keep it alive. I am fortunate that I have few friends who have been there for me for few decades now. We just make sure to stay in touch.
