True Friends
True friends, in these days and times, are few and far between
Some one to be by your side in the time of need
Some one who will lift you up when you are going through the trials of life; and
yet can understand and know how to lovingly lend a helping hand.
True friends are hard to find:
Some one who will stand with you in good and bad times
Some one who will be with you to encourage and to cheer
Some one to confide in when life's pressures make you fear.
True friends will stay with you in your troubling days-
Comforting, consoling, praying that you will overcome by the power of God's ways.
True friends are they who will be with you, sticking closer, sometime, than your
own blood sisters and brothers-
Knowing how to empathize and show you love comparable to no other.
True friends will never 'jump the ship,' bail out,' when the storms and winds of life
are tossing to and fro;
But they will ever remain by your side in strength and power assuring you that you
can grow by encouraging you through every test of time that comes-
Helping you to know that you can be victorious and be a winner as long as you
endure.
True friends will encourage you and never put you down
They will never laugh and jeer or cause added pain to life's tests and trials-
They will never make your smile turn upside down or cause you heart to cry and
in your tears be drowned.
Love and respect are key ingredients in true friends that make them free and
strong to stand with you no matter what, even if, perchance some times in your
life, things happen to be going wrong.
True friends are little "treasures" to be valued more than silver and even more
than gold
They can't be bought; can't rust or fade or neither can be sold
Because they are "blessings" from the Heart of God uplifting to the Soul of those
God's love in them have shown.
