"One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24
Thank GOD for TRUE friends!!!! Seriously, take a minute to thank Him for them!!! We are here today and gone tomorrow...so I want to thank Him for those that have stuck by me through thick and thin. I have some very close friends. I am very grateful for them and how the Lord has kept my heart filled with laughter and joy thru my pals.
And then there are the FICKLE friends. You know EXACTLY what I mean. They are like what Jesus described as Pharisees...whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones (Matthew 23:27)!!! LOL!!! Sounds strong but it's true! The bible describes these people as beautiful on the outside but dirty on the inside. Wow!
I got those "fly-by-night friends" that talk so much "smack" about being my "girl" and all that. But I never hear from them..and trust me, I'm not clingy or need a call EVERYDAY but once a month is nice! Hey, what am I saying here? If you claim to be a friend, then be one. Otherwise shut the hell up about it because the Word tells us where there are "many words, sin is not absent" (Proverbs 10:19).
I make it my business to contact those I consider my "peeps" on a weekly basis just to let them know I love and care for them. When I see that reciprocity is absent...it's time for me to re-examine these "friends" and move on. As TD Jakes would say, "Learn the gift of GOODBYE." LOL
Anyway, God bless and be a friend INDEED!!!!
Love ya!
