I cannot even begin to count all the many blessings that God has given. One of the great blessings is that of friends. When I mention friends I do not mean those that you have on Facebook, although some might be your true friends. The kinds that I am discussing are those like Jesus.
How do I know when someone is a true friend or how can I be sure that I am being true friend to someone else? We know that we are friends of Jesus if we do that which Jesus commands. Jesus said, “You are My friends if you do whatever I command you” (John 15:14).
I have come up with a simple way to help you know if you are a true friend.
A true friend is one that:
F orgives wrongs (Colossians 3:13)
R equires truth (Proverbs 12:22)
I mitates God (Eph. 5:1)
E ncourages at all times (Phil. 2:3-4)
N ever speaks evil (Matthew 5:22)
D esires to share the gospel (Romans 10:15)
Continue ministering your message.
