Devotion for Today July, 13th 2012-Friendship


Good Morning Friends!  
Have you ever needed a true, sincere friend?  Sometimes a true friend is hard to come by.  Many friends classify themselves as friends but are they really what is defined as a friend?  Let's look into what a real friend is all about.  Who can we trust as a friend?

Mr. Webster's new dictionary says friend is a noun.  #1 One who attaches to another by respect or affection.  #2  An acquaintence.  #3 One who is not hostile.#4 One who supports or favors something.  What the word of God says (about a friend): 

John 15:  13-15  K.J.V. says Greater Love has no one than this that he laid down his life for his friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command.   I have no longer called you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business.  Instead I have called you friends.  For everything that I have learned from my Father I have made known to you. 

Let's go back to our first question.  Have you ever needed a true, sincere friend?  I believe we all have at least once in our lives (whether we admit it or not).  For me, I've had that friend at least for a few years, then she really got messed up in a bad relationship and other things.  She is now past on.  My sister for the better part of my life has held that position to be a true and sincere friend to me.  
My husband, Mr. Roger, is my all-time, in good times and bad times, in sickness and in good health and everyway possible, he is my very best friend on the face of this planet living in this world.  My love, My man.  At this very moment Mr. Roger, I call him many names, I believe one of his favorite is (boss man), is in Grand Strand Regional Medical Center in the new Cardiac Unit.  His heart as big as it is needs you Christians to lift him up to Jesus.  Please pray for him friends, we need you!  There is still much for us to do for the work of Christ.  His surgery for today was cancelled and rescheduled for early morning Friday July 13th.  

Back to friends:  Proverbs 17:17 A friend loveth at all times.  Regardless of. anything.....!!!!!!!!  A brother is born to help us in time of need. 

Proverbs 18:24  A man that has friends must show himself friendly and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.  

Jesus, if you will allow him to be , will be the closest friend that you will ever encounter!!!!  HE will even Speak To You.  HE knows you and what's going on in your world. HE is waiting on you.  Try talking to HIM.  

News Break:  HE does not gossip!  I love it, don't you?!

Proverbs 27:10  Thine own friend, and they Father's friends for sake not, neither go into thy brother's house in the day of his clamity for better is a neighbor that is near than a brother who is far off.  (away)

A good question for us all:  What kind of friend are we?  Take inventory of ourselves.  We often judge others how they react but how often do we actually put ourself out and be a real and selfless friend to someone else and why we do the deed.  GOD knows the real intent of our heart.  We only fool others for a while.  Friends, enjoy your week, see you later at Worship and Praise.  Looking through the eyes of Jesus.
