What Is A Friend?

You know the song,”why can’t we be friends?” There is more to it then being a friend to somebody.

If you know they are having problems financially, maybe need a lift somewhere, or food to eat, lend a hand. Ask how can I help you or what do you need? Maybe your friend just needs to vent for a moment about what is going on and that’s okay, you can just listen and bring comfort to them.

Definition of a friend- a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection.

A bond of mutual affection is what a friend is. It amazes me so see so many turn a blind eye when a friend or loved oneor someone you know is in need. It begs the question of were you truly friends to begin with.

We are all struggling right now and yet if there is some small way to help someone out and you can then I would. This is why we are here to help each other.

Proverbs 17:17 KJV A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

A friend is someone who remains loyal and helpful during the good times and the bad times. Speaks the truth even when it hurts. Demonstrating the kind of love found in 1 Corinthians 13.

The next time you notice someone in need lend a hand no matter how small the help is or how big. The size does not matter but people do. We are supposed to be reflecting Jesus each day. He helped the broken, weak, the outcast, and those in need.

Should we be any different?
