To Friend
Today on Twitter I read the following tweet by Pastor Jonathan Miller:
A balanced friendship requires equal distribution of loyalty, love, trust and communication. Lopsided friendships collapse.
This got me to thinking about relationships and how so many people struggle with broken bonds in their lives. It is my belief that God has placed people in our lives for His purpose.
Remember:
*It is better to be loving than right.
This means that we let pride go, especially in a situation where we may be right. It is far better to love than to win!
*When someone has done something that hurts you, let them know right away.
That way you can clear the air immediately. Be sure you talk about the situation ONLY to the person who offended you, not to everyone else! And get on with living instead of binging on bitterness.
*Be genuine.
Friends want the real you, with all your fears and failures. Rejoice with them when they are happy, and be compassionate when they are struggling.
Pray for your friends~past, present, and future!
