Proverbs 18:24, “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”
My dear friend Dr. Larry Lilly wrote an amazing book “Lasting Friendships in 30 Days”. It is such a great resource on friendship. If you have not gotten one I suggest you do at www.larrylilly.com .
My wife and I worked until long after 2:30 am on a project for a dear friend of ours. We were attempting to put together a DVD slideshow of pictures of preschool children for their graduation ceremony tonight. It took us both working together for 2 hours to learn how to use our software program and another hour to make the movie. Then when we attempted to burn it to a DVD, we had no blank DVDs. Not one. We went to bed.
Now the fun begins while I wait for the laptop to burn the DVD and then see if I was successful. If I am successful it is because of the love of a friend. This friend cared enough to come bail me out early in the morning with no expectation of repayment (he knows I have now means to do so right now).
Dear reader, if you are in need of a friend above all friends then all you need do is to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and He will be the best friend you ever had or will have. We have His Word on it. “… there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” There it is in black and white.
So, how are you doing?
