What About Your Friends

You know as you grow older you really began to analyze past, present and future relationships.

One thing that has always been a big similarity in my relationships is the ability to sustain true and meaningful friendships.

So many people come and go out of your life. Most of the time you take it with a grain of salt and say “It is….what it is.”

Sometimes relationships just fizzle out, lose its momentum and the commonalities that were shared are no longer there so the relationship becomes more work than flow.

 

I said all that to say my most rewarding relationships have been the ones that time, place, nor circumstances can come in between what you have. People move, change, get married/divorced, have children, suffer loss but through it all you manage to still hold strong and nothing breaks the tie that binds.

I’m reminded of the story in the Bible of the paralyzed man lying on the mat. He had at least 3 – 5 crazy friends that were willing to go to great lengths to get their friend healed.

Think about the man is sick. No doubt probably discouraged and somewhat distraught at his situation, but because of the courage of his friends they climbed the roof of the house where Jesus was to get their friend healed.

But the key to this whole story was when Jesus said to the paralyzed man “Because of THEIR faith, He said ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven’.”

Jesus did not say because of the faith of the man lying on the mat. He said because of the faith of your friends your sins are forgiven. WOW!!

At the end of the day ladies, who you choose as your friends does matter. Take a lesson from the paralyzed man. Your friends need to be:

• Radical
• Creative
• Relentless
• A Little Crazy
• And unwavering in their Faith

Love You My Sisters!!!!

Don’t Go to War without knowing who is on your side.
