Friends

What kind of friends do you really have?
What kind of friend are you really to others?
This is the kind I want and want to be. It’s the story of a woman, Nita Andrews, being a REAL friend. She sacrificed her time, comfort, and energy to carry and birth her friends baby. Could you do something like this for someone? It’s a great story. This is their picture.
This is reinforcement to the great discussions that took place last night at our connect group. Developing authentic, Christ like community requires a lot of you as an individual. It’s not so easy to be a great friend with a true friendship. It takes genuine love, sacrifice, loyalty, selflessness, trust, and dedication to be a great friend.
God didn’t create us to be alone (Genesis 2:18). We were designed to walk through life together and help, encourage, and lean on each other (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). We need each other.
So are you a good friend or a great friend? What are you willing to do for others?

It’s so easy to go through life and only know people on the surface, but I like it when I feel like the person who I am friends with can no me…the good, the bad and the ugly.
And there’s more of the last two than I like!
