Having friends can make all the difference in the world.
There have been scientific facts of what having friends in
our lives can do for us. Lower blood pressure, higher happiness in life and other
things you can find out if you go to the Mayo Clinic website. It’s nice to have great friends.
Friends came through for Paul in Acts 27:3…
“The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to
Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.”
As Paul was sailing as a jailed prisoner, he was able to go
see his friends to meet for his needs. Friends can meet a need in our lives. Friends can make a huge difference in the lives of others. Sometimes though, we are not the best friends. We think of our own thoughts and wants above others.
There was a time I thought I was really good friends with
someone else. We were talking online one time and I noticed the
conversation was all about him (This isn’t always a bad thing). So I kept talking
and saw if he would swing the conversation around, her never did. We were decent friends, but I realized the majority of the
time we just talked about what he wanted to do.
Finally I decided to stop calling him and saw if he
contacted me back. He never did. As a result, we went our separate ways. There are times I have not been a good friend and need to
work on it. A good friend can make all the difference in the world.
I am glad to be surrounded by so many loving people. There are things I need to do to be a better friend. What are something’s you like in a friend? What are things you can improve on to be a better friend? Are you a friend that can meet other’s needs? If not, you can improve and help someone out in a tough
time. Try to work on being a better friend today.
Have a great day.
