When I was a kid I've made tons of friends but I honestly don't know the meaning of these 7-letter word.
Life won't teach you how but the experiences with it will. I haven't understand the meaning of friendship until this very day of my life where in I believe that I've become a FRIEND indeed to my friends.
When I was in highschool I have asked myself what is it being a good friend, then I asked the Lord what is it like being a friend? Then Proverbs 17:17 said: "A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need." I may really not have understood this when I was still in highschool but it took time for me to sink everything in and to fully understand what God had meant about this.
To fully understand how to become a real friend to a friend, ask yourself if you truly love your friends then all things will lighten up and will make sense. According to 1 Corrinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." this verses doesn't only tackle what is written in there. For love occupies everything. Love is the center of every human emotion. Love is something we are blessed to ever feel and experience.
As what I always tell to my friends that is to hope in love and believe that everything will be a ok if we rest upon the hands of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I may not fully understand the other scope of life but I am thankful that I have learned this lesson in life.
I know there's more to come. For all my friends, thank you. I love you.
