"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13(NIV)
Friends Part Three
Back on the note of friends, are you a good friend? What makes up a good friend? What is a good friend?
These are the top 5 qualities I think a good friend should have!
5: Be a Godly Friend. God wants us to be godly and that means all of the time. Even when you're with your friends. So what you speak and your actions are a godly example to them!
4: Learn to forgive. As I said on a previous day, forgiveness is important! We can't stay mad at our friends forever, right? I know I can't, I end up wanting to hug them. Remember to forgive.
3: Keep your promises. Don't ever make a promise that you can't keep -- or at least don't make a habit of it. Simple as that.
2: Be honest. Honesty is key. You might think well you can't be too honest or you might hurt someone's feelings. Well I'm going to be honest with you. No matter what it is. Always tell the truth. Lies boil inside you and they can completely shatter friendships.
1: Last but not least, be yourself. You don't want to be friends with people who think your something else. Be happy with yourself and with that, you will find true friends.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for making me a wonderful friend to my friends. Help me to be the true me. The one you made! I want to be a friend to someone that will accept me for the way I am. In order to do that I must be honest, loyal and, forgiving. I must also remember you. Your words and your promises. I can be a friend that will help others come close to you! In Jesus name, Amen.
