Friends

The most important qualities I look for in close friends is having a relationship with Jesus.  I say this because you need someone that can build you up and someone that can draw you closer to God.  Another quality is being trustworthy.  In any relationship, if there isn't any trust,  the relationship will be strained and it won't work out very well.  I also want someone who can love me for who I am  even when I mess up and make mistakes.   I myself need to work on many qualities and being better at all of them but the biggest quality that I need to work on is truly caring about the person.  I do care but sometimes it seems like the same old thing but I need to always constantly care and try to help the person.  I have a great friend.  We have only known each other for a little over three months, but over that time we have become very close.  This is the most deep and best friendship I have ever had.  She is a Christian and firm believer and we both build each other up and have become closer to God through the relationship.  She is very trustworthy, she cares about me, and she loves me for who I am.  She is one of the most caring people I know and it has been a blast being able to get closer to her over the three months.  I look forward to the time we will continue to have together.  God is great and hasn't just blessed me with her, but many others who are great people to be around...“The righteous should CHOOSE HIS FRIENDS CAREFULLY, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.” (Proverbs 12:26)  "As iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17

  1. I agree.... Our friends influence our actions.. we should be with others who trust god and follow his ways.....I also love the "iron" verse i think that this is a powerful verse for this topic.
