FIND A CLOSE CHRISTIAN FRIEND— a true Christian friend will let you know when you sin. A true friend will care enough about your spiritual condition to tell you the truth. The Bible says, “wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy” (Proverbs 27:6)
Question of the day: DO YOU HAVE A GOOD CHRISTIAN FRIEND? DO YOU FEEL INSPIRED BY THAT PERSON? DOES THIS PERSON HELP YOU WHEN YOU ARE BEING CHALLENGED BY THE TEMPTER? DOES THIS PERSON LEAD BY EXAMPLE?
A true Christian friend is humble. If you fall spiritually, a friend who is a strong Christian can be counted upon to help restore you without spreading rumors. That is because this friend realizes that he or she is just as susceptible to sin as you are.
A true Christian friend will help carry your burdens. She/he will weep with you when you weep and rejoice with you when you rejoice (see Romans 12:15). Having a friend who is a strong Christian is not just a benefit—it is a necessity!
It's good to have friends that can guide you with the Lord and help you when you are not going the way HE would choose for you. I am BLESSED!!!!!
