#3213 – Friendly Friends

Good morning people who are a source of joy in your relationships

Job 17:5 NIV If anyone denounces their friends for reward, the eyes of their children will fail.

I have two questions I want to ask you about your friendships:

“Are you a faithful friend?”

“Are you a giver or a taker in your relationships?”

In Proverbs 18:24 in the NKJV, it says, ‘A man who has friends must himself be friendly’.

Some friendships are lop-sided. I have seen and heard about ‘friendships’ where one side is always giving and the other side is always taking; one side is focused on the positive and the other is focused on the negative.

Friendships should not be a drain on you, but a source of joy. Friendships should not deplete you, but rather, they should do you good.

And as a friend, we should do others good.

I want to ask you today to think and act upon this question, “Which one of my friends can I encourage and bless?”
