God's Plan

A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter. That is one of many verses in the Bible about friendship. Being a faithful friend, being a friend that is lead by the example of Christ is important. The question is though, what makes for a faithful friend? When I think of a faithful friend, my best friend pops in my mind. She is someone who understands me more than most. She knows what and who is important to my heart. She is always there for me, and I for her. She is honest and faithfu when it comes to the truth. And we compliment each other quite well. She and her example as a faithful friend cause me to be a better, a stronger and braver person, and an even better friend. She is a sturdy person I can lean on when life gets hard. And we all need that.
It is important to lean on Christ at all times, because He is our comfort. But there is something about someone here that is a big plus. There is something about that hug from a real person, that touch, that prayer, that comfort that comes from a faithful friend that means so much.
We all need those friends, and we all need to work on being that friend to others. Be sturdy, be faithful and be that friend.
