As a result of a conversation with a friend yesterday I got to thinking. Sometimes I regard people as my friends because they are nice to me. Then Proverbs 27:6 came to mind.
“Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
profuse are the kisses of an enemy.” (ESV)
A lot if not most of my friends are nice, and certainly kind, but the biblical definition of a friend isn’t necessarily “nice.” May me and my friends be more than just nice to one another.
“Let a righteous man strike me–it is a kindness; let him rebuke me–it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it.“ Psalm 141:5 (ESV)
Hi there,
Interesting, I`ll quote it on my site later.
sorry…just now catching up on blogs from internetland…
Dude- gloves off. no more kindness. you owe me some major mula for posting my pic on your site. my people will be in touch with your people. don’t take it personally…it’s not friendship, it’s business.
This is a outstanding post, but I was wondering how do I suscribe to the RSS feed?
