No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth. –Anonymous
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Ecclesiastes 4:9
What worth do friends have? They can correct you when you are wrong. They can help sharpen you to become a better Christian. They can help you up when you fall. They can hold you accountable. They can pray for you, cry with you, and encourage you to continue on when the world says quit!
Yes, I’ve got some friends like this, near and far! For this, I am thankful and if you have some, you should be too! But much more than any earthly friend we ought to praise the Lord for The Friend we have in Jesus! For when our earthly friends fail us, Jesus is there for us!
