God gives us friendships to move us forward. To strengthen us, to guide us and to bring us joy. I have been blessed, abundantly, with many friends. Some, I know for only moments. Others know more about me than my family. And still others, are so close that regardless of time and space, there is never distance between us. Take a few moments today to acknowledge the friendships in your life.
Job 2:11-13 When Job's three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him. When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him; they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads. Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was.
Heavenly Father~ I thank you for the gift of friendship. For the people you have put in my life to love and care for me. I pray you grow a spirit of friendship in me. May I come when a friend is in need. May I laugh when it is the best medicine. May I climb mountains to overcome fears with a friend. May I celebrate birthdays we wish we didn't have to count. Use me in all of my friendship to be good council and an example of your amazing love. ~In your precious name.
