That's a strange word. A friend has taken on a new meaning today, but if you remember the old meaning (c'mon, take a trip back with me): you may have fought during the week, but were back to liking each other by week's end; you stayed the night at each other's houses, you joked with each other and everything was cool, laughter was a must! Now, kids fight and don't let go of the grudge. If the fruit is turning up rotten, spoiled, or judged harshly--what's wrong with the tree? What's wrong with the environment the fruit is being brought up in? Just food for thought...
I really love my friends. They are good for me and to me. There are some people that I consider to be acquaintances: people I know who I'm not too sure of his/her character yet. Yes, I understand them but sometimes their actions or words can lead them to trouble. If you're associated with them, they could lead you to trouble, too.
God is one friend that has remained a constant. He never changes or leaves. Sometimes things happen harsh because: a) life ain't fair, b) there's a lesson to be learned and c) it's really good for our character. We become stronger and valued because of our adversities. If you fight with human friends, pray. If you really want the answer, wait on it. If you're confused, still wait for His answer--it will come.
Father, I thank you for both the positive and negative outcomes I've experienced thus far.
