What is a FRIEND?

What is FRIEND?

Friend is whom you can depend on, someone who will stand by your side until their last drops of his or her breathe. People tend to misconstrue the word friendship, they tend to see and value the words as it is, but have we ever thought what the real meaning of this word is?

Friendship is most demonstrated on the cross. Positive sign which mean increase, so, what does it mean…Friendship is sharing life to other people. We open doors and our lives to let others see and know who we are. We can’t just limit ourselves by our actions and what we feel. Our joys, our sorrows, our pains, our victories are all factors to share life and touches lives. We can best do it once we opened our hearts and learn to love a person who surrounds us.

Life of Jesus is one best example of friendship. What He did is to give His very own life for the sake of His friends and that’s we. Jesus shed His blood not only for me but for you because He loves us unconditionally and He never wanted to see us in pain. He always wants the best for us. As the cross says “INRI”, we were reminded that once Jesus shared His life for us to be saved. He is the good and the best demonstration of being a friend. A good man who made a way to touch lives and His compassionate heart brought Him the love that is so lavishing and so big to what we can contain.

If we say to others, I am your friend. Do we really mean it?

Friendship is a Commitment and Accountability to others. If we mean friendship, we must be able to do an impact, we must share our lives and change life, we should be an encourager, a living testimony and a legacy to them. We need to know our responsibilities as their friends. Our commitment is not like with Jesus who needs to shed blood but through our actions and words, we need to be an influence in bringing out the best in them.

What our friends are is a reflection to who we are.

Friends are those people who will stick through thick and thin. “A friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity.” “Proverbs 17:17”

I hope that God will use me to be your friend and may I be a blessing to your life that I might do my commitment as your friend. Thank you for being a gift to treasure, a friend whom I want to share the beauty of life with God’s love.
