Friendship

Friendship is a great thing.  We all need to have friends in our lives.  But importantly, we need to be a friend, not just to others, but to ourselves as well.  There is so much hatred and backstabbing going on in the world today.  It is a shame.  True friendship seems to be lacking.  People are hurting themselves and others and many seem not to care.  It isn't in their backyard or they are just uncaring people themselves.  Some will not think twice in backstabbing or doing their friend some harm in some way.  We need to be a friend and to have true friends who will be blunt and honest and hold us accountable.  Even loners need friends.  Jesus Christ is a Friend and that is what He called His disciples.  I need to have that checked out.  But the point is, I wish that there is some truth and trust and some love in this world, but it seems rather rare.  It in the end does not matter what a friend looks like or their race or their gender.  There is so much enmity and shallowness in the world that being a friend and having a friend who is loyal and true is something we should not take for granted.  After all, when it come to true Friends all you need is one.
