What is true friendship according to the Bible?

We are reminded of the principle found in Amos. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed" (Amos 3:3). Friends are of like mind. The truth that comes from all of this is that friendship is that relationship that is entered into by individuals and it is only as good or as close as those individuals choose to make it. Some one has said that if you can count your true friends on the fingers of one hand, you are blessed. A friend is one whom you can be yourself with and never fear that they will judge you. A friend is someone that you can confide in with complete trust. A friend is someone you respect and that respects you, not based upon worthiness but based upon a likeness of mind.

I am truly blessed as I have a friend as the bible describes.... Suzanne Speaks.

Who would have ever known that two people, never knowing the other existed until "MySpace" brought our paths together, would end up to be such a great friendship. She had a gift for me this morning, a book; Balancing Your Life by Suzan D. Johnson Cook.



You are one of God's leading ladies, and as such, you have a very busy life. What is the key to success? Balance. yes, blanacing the many components of your life and keeping each element rightly aligned is essential in order to be everything God created you to be. In orcer to take your place on the stage of life and keep your place in the spotlight for the long term, you will need to be strong, healthy, and whole.

Thank you dear friend, you have definitely been a blessing in my life.

I love Self Help Books, I'm an avid reader of this line of books. I could start my own library, these amongst the many craft books that I tend to purchase also. This one will be sitting on my nightstand with the others that I am reading. I have to admit, as much as I love reading, I'm a slow reader, I take my time, I hate that I don't read on a daily basis, but that is something I'm working on. Hopefully things will change once I'm moved and settled in to the new place. :)
Friends such as this dear one to me, is a great source of support when you need it most!
