WHO I AM HAS MANY REASONS
It is because of the people God has designed to be a part of your life.
Our family of birth or with whom we grow up play a very important part n who we become. Whatever the influence of family was, we learned and grew. Sometimes we took it to heart, while at other times we found that we needed to let some things go. Our own personalities aso played a big role in who we became as we grew up. Our teachers and role models were also tantamount to our development.
Here is the most important influence we have had. Superimposed on all of the other influences was the hand of our Father molding the clay and sometimes cleaning up the messes others made or that we made ourselves. God gave us one more influence that can be for good or bad. However, when it was good it was such a blessing to our lives. You guessed it, they are our friends.
Friends.......They love you, but they're not your lover. They care for you, but they're not from your family. They're ready to share your pain, but they're not your blood relation. They are........FRIENDS!
A True friend......
Scolds like a DAD..
Cares like a MOM..
Teases like a SISTER..
Irritates like a BROTHER..
And finally loves you more than a LOVER.
A friend loves at all times.
Proverbs 17:17a
Friends are so valuable--we need to remind them every once in while how much they mean to us. Who comes to mind when you read this? Today you could let her know how much she means to you. Bless her back as she blesses you, and say a prayer for your friend.
THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS!
