Choosing our friends

It is a sacred thing to take a new friend into our life.

We accept a solemn responsibility when we do so.

We do not know what burdens we may be engaging to carry, what sacrifices we may unconsciously be pledging ourselves to make, what sorrows may come to us through the one to whom we are giving our heart's love.

We should choose our friends, therefore, thoughtfully, wisely, prayerfully; but when we have pledged our love we should be faithful, whatever the cost may be.

"A man of many friends may come to ruin" Proverbs 18:24
