Daily Bread (Best Friends)

'The righteous should choose his friends carefully'

When I was replied her sms, I was shocked to be greeted with the words, "nobody want to be your friends". Although I knew it was untrue, I still felt sad for a moment. The idea that anyone, even an impersonal sms, would call me friendless was upsetting. Friends are essential for our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
Friends listen to our heartaches without blaming us for having problems. They defend us when we're under attack. They are happy when we succeed and sad when we fail. they aive us wise counsel to keep us from making foolish choices. They even risk making us angry for the sake of making us right.
As the Bible shows us, we need to choose friends carefully (Prov. 12:26). The very best friends are those who are friends with God and who strengthen our relationship with Him (1 Sam. 23:16).
"I do not ask for many friends, but give me, Lord, the few Whose loyalty and faithfulness Are first of all to You" (Teepa)
