A Friend, a Special Lady!

 Yesterday was a special day for a friend that we met at church and was part of our life group. We were invited to a get together to say goodbye because she is moving downstate to be closer to her sons. I heard someone say that they took a count and there were thirty people there. She is a special lady that always has Godly advice, Godly prayers and always seeks out the lonely. She will be missed.

It made me wonder if I went to be with the Lord tomorrow, how many people would show up for my life celebration?

I’m reminded what the Bible says about a good friend!

Proverbs 27:10 Never abandon a friend— either yours or your father’s. When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance. It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.

Proverbs 18:24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

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

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

1 Samuel 18: 3Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself. 4And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.

Friendship is about quality of character and a true friend loves use even when we don’t deserve it. Kinda sounds like Jesus, doesn’t it?

I have a friend in Jesus, do you?

Blessings
