A friend is a gift |
Lord, what does it means to be a friend? Like brother? Isn't it your second command to love your brother? Aren't friendships then the meaning of life? Does love have rules? Do friendships have rules? Is their such things as boundaries? Do you command us to have boundaries? Is love really universal? If it is, why do some people not accept the love that I give? Why is love and friendships so complicated? But yet we need to think bigger? Is conflict really inevitable? Is conflict good? Is disagreeing good? Can you really agree to disagree? Why do I want to be understood? Why do I feel so unloved when I am misunderstood? Can you be friends when you both have completely different outlooks?Why do I always need to look to myself for change? When is it ok to tell them they hurt you? Is it ever? Is humility just praying for them? Is it ok to be sad or mad for a little while? What if they keep hurting us conscientiously and unconscientiously? Do we leave the relationship? But yet aren't we not supposed to be apart of rejection? Is loving them from a distance rejection? Is tough love even real? Is just every relationship really this incredibly different? What do I share and don't share with them? Lord, isn't sharing your life important? Why does being open need so much discernment? What does it mean "iron sharpens iron?" Is is seen, said, done, taught, or is it just loving them where they are at? What does it mean to love them where they are at? Is loving unconditionally really a constant choice? Are friendships supposed to be heaven focused or life focused? Do our friendships ease our loneliness or are they just meant to grow us? Is growing them selfish? But friendships are talked a lot in the bible, right? They must have purpose? But why do they hurt so bad sometimes? Isn't through suffering we find joy? Is friendship meant to teach us this process? Is their a process? Do friends really come in seasons?Where is the trust and security in that? Do you really know you will be friends forever? Can you really work through anything? Do you take everything your friend say's as truth? Or do you take it as a grain of salt like everything else? But don't our friends know us the most? Are friends a gift? How do we treat them that way?
Lord, I find an answer and then I have another question and then an answer and then the same question again..........
What dose it mean to be a friend, not a good friend or a great friend, but simply a friend?
