Equipping Christian Men for Richer Relationships

A True Friend

If you could design a best friend, what emotional skills would he possess? How would he act? What traits and qualities would he practice?

  • He would be a calming, comforting, presence.
  • His soul would be built on joy.
  • He would carry an abundance of compassion, understanding, and support.
  • Life can be so hard. My friend would be loaded with empathy and encouragement.
  • He would be hungry for growth, learning, and new insights.
  • His soul would be full of love and laughter.
  • His mind would be creative and inspirational.
  • He would love traveling and exploring God’s creation.
  • He would appreciate the same activities and sports I do.
  • Finally, he would love Jesus a lot.

Since, no single person can match this list, I turn to Jesus. He’s my eternal, always present, always comforting companion.

Prayer

Father, thank you for friends and companions who love and comfort me. Thank you that I can hope, dream, and wish. Thank you for Jesus, my ever present and ever loving friend. Amen.

Bible Connection

A person of too many friends comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. – Proverbs 18:24 (NASB)

No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. – John 15:15 (NASB)

Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends. – John 15:13 (NASB)
