True friendship is hard to find- especially in today's busy world...but I believe God wants us to have true friends. Proverbs 27:17 tells us that iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another. Do we work to be both sweet and tangy in our relationships? Are we the type of friend that we love? Are we honest without finding fault? Are we dedicated without being demanding? Do we give to another what we want for ourselves?
Consider asking God how to be a better friend and how to find friends that will strengthen you in your faith. Focus on helping someone be better, but always work to be better yourself. Encourage and lift up. Pray and be thankful. Send a note in the mail or buy the favorite coffee....spend time listening when you would rather be doing something else. Work to be both sweet and tangy...because honestly, those are the friends we typically appreciate the most.
