In a sacred bond of friendship, I honor my friends with love and respect.
Perhaps Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: "The only way to have a friend is to be one." Friendship is a sacred bond and it provides a safe haven in which to listen, share, and rest in complete trust. I have a number of acquaintances and know many people, but my friends add such meaning to everyday life and special occasions.
Friends are caring people who can see each other's shortcomings and strengths and help one another work on both. They are examples of God's love in action.
With friends, I can laugh, cry, be silly, get serious, and reveal whatever is on my heart. I treasure all my friends. I am grateful for the joy and stability we bring to one another as we share mutual love and respect.
"Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,' and he was called the friend of God."--James 2:23
