Friendships are gifts from God. Here’s a beautiful, biblical description of friendship: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). What friendship can you cultivate today? Whom can you reach out and encourage? Friendship is a gift from God!
But maybe friendships seem to be lacking in your life. Maybe sin seems to have succeeded in separating you from everyone else. Know this: You have a perfect friend in Jesus. When others turn their back on you, Jesus is always here. When others bring up your past sins over and over again, Jesus has forgiven you. When others forget to pick you up, your life rests in the everlasting arms of Jesus. With Jesus as your Savior, you are never just one. You are always two: You and Jesus. What a blessing friendship is!
