Friends
"A friend loves at all times" Proverbs 17:17
"A man who has friends, must show himself friendly" Proverbs 18:24
Make friends who are worthy of friendship. We can have friends only by giving our lives for them. It costs to do this. Selfishness never wins a friend. We can make others love us — only by truly loving them.
The greatest personality wins us no real friends — if we do not show love.
God will never be jealous of pure human affections.
Loving God supremely, will not drive out of our hearts the love of dear ones knit to us during the years of earthly fellowship in joy and sorrow.
The better we love Christ — the deeper, purer, stronger, and more tender will be our love for our human friends.
"Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another!" 1 John 4:11
