Amazing. How one touch can make your day seem a little less lonely. A smile encourages you to keep going. An encouraging word you felt you could live. Words...touches...glances they're much powerful then one often thinks.
Friends. How often friends are underrated. They shape and form our lives in ways we never imagine. Friends...meaning at least one portion of your life is vulnerable. In order to have friends you must step outside of yourself and give something of yourself to them. Sometimes we get burn because we hastily give our hearts away. Other times we're too guarded...and end up losing them. Friends can make or break your relationship to others, if you let them. They can determined your outlook on life. Sometimes especially younger people they listen to their peers as if they have the wisdom. And sometimes they do have the wisdom. Over the years I have reliezed just how important friends are...
Friends are not to take the place of parents or God. But rather help you along in your journey in Christ. Friends must tell the truth (tactfully if they can) when God tells them to. I consider true friends when they have seen at your best and at your worst, yet they love and like because they understand that we are all human.
Please, don't say friends are unimportant. They are. Don't say that you don't matter, because to God you do. To at least one person in the world you are a friend and to that person you matter.
