Reading: Read the verses below Reflection: The dictionary defines a friend as "a person who one knows, likes, and trusts. An acquaintance; a person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; one who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause or movement." But what does God say about friends? Here are some verses that tell us what God says about friendships: Proverbs 16: 28- a friend does not gossip Proverbs 17: 17- a friend is loving and loyal Proverbs 18: 24- a friend sticks by you Proverbs 27: 6- a friend is honest Proverbs 27: 10- a friend does not reject you Proverbs 27: 17- a friend challenges you intellectually When I look at those I consider close friends of mine, I see that they all possess these qualities. We must remember that we need to work at our friendships. In a pop song by Baz Luhrmann, he says, "Bridge the gap between distance and lifestyles of your friends. The older you get, the more you need people who knew you when you were young." Remember not to take your friends for granted. --Chad Hershberger, Camp Mount Luther Director Closing: Discuss with others or mediate on this quote, from an unnamed source, "Friendship is the idea of loving as well as being loved."
