The Friendship That Lifts You Up

Ecclesiastes 4:10"If one falls, the other will lift him up. Woe to the one who falls and has no one to help him up."

Friendship can be constructive and edifying when we walk together in the path of faith. It’s not good for us to be isolated, as we are part of a body. It’s not pleasant to be alone, isolated, with no one to share both joys and tribulations with. In a healthy friendship, one friend can help the other. If one

falls, the other helps him get back up. That’s why it’s important to cultivate fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ. True friendship is the one that encourages you to seek God more. Something you should remember is that even when we are alone, Jesus is our best friend. Christ never abandons us, and the Holy Spirit comforts our hearts. In the walk of faith, opportunities will arise to meet other brothers and sisters and build friendships centered on Jesus.

Friends in Faith

• Seek friendships that build your faith. In this way, both of you will be strengthened.

• If one of your friends has a problem, try to help them. You may need a helping hand in the future.

• Encourage your friends to seek God. A good friend strengthens the other's faith.

Prayer:

Lord, You are my best friend. Your sacrifice saved me and reached many others. Today, I have friends who are closer than brothers. Thank You, Lord. Amen.
