A Good Friend

Oct 27 2009

Today I want to be a good friend.  To be able to sacrifice what I want for what my friends want.  And even to give up what I most value for the sake of my friends:  my own life.  At times I may need to be a friend through trials rather than laying in comfort.  I may need to tell the truth, even if that stings a bit and even it makes my friend mad.   Today I will not blame, manipulate, guilt, talk down to, or violate the trust of my friend, because that is the territory of an enemy, and today I am not an enemy.  I am a good friend.  The only thing that should come before being a friend is being a Christ follower, and the two should only co-exist.  For if I am like Christ…

I am a good friend.
