Have you not heard how friends help in difficulty and suffering determine if the relationship is real or not? Have you not heard that God won’t give us too much to handle? Have you discovered that there are times when life is altogether too much to run? In all that might come your way in life, remember that real friends give you courage when you don’t have it; offer a listening ear; find joy in difficult times, and much more. Overall, a friend will always remain friendly and helpful. Remember, Jesus said; “The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them. And you are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because servants do not know what their master is doing. Instead, I call you friends, because I have told you everything I heard from my Father.” (John 15:13-15 GNT)
