FRIENDS~First, let all of us be surprised at what a dictionary says about what a friend really is:
1) A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
2) One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement.
How many people that seem to be close to us, are we able to really trust? Even the closest of friends, that we have had friendships with, for decades, have secrets hidden from us, that many are afraid to admit, because they know that they will loose contact with us, when those secrets be revealed.
We are taught that we are to learn how to trust God. Surely, we need friends, along the way, that are beyond a casual acquaintance. And they are available in all anonymous fellowships. But let us not put our trust in a human being, because all will fail us, if we depend on them, too much.
