Friends
God uses Christian friends in many ways. They can help teach us some of the lessons that He wants us to learn. They can demonstrate how to put faith into action. By following their example, we are encouraged to become friends with others and show God's love to them.
We must thank God for friends who uplift us and encourage us to be better persons, simply by being in our lives. We must ask God to help us to be friends to others who need our support and encouragement.
Exodus 33:11
The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.
Job 6:14
A despairing man should have the devotion of his friends, even though he forsakes the fear of the almighty.
