True Friendship

"To Have A Friend You Must First Be A Friend”

A new friend and I met for lunch. We talked and talked for hours. We both are alike in many ways. This sweet new friend is truly adorable. Can a true friendship be developing? Thoughts started pondering, who is a true friend and what qualities should every friend have.

We will meet hundreds of people during our lifetime but only a few of them will develop into true friends.

As time progresses, a friend becomes more than a friend. A friend develops into family, someone that you simply cannot envision not being in your life. A friend becomes a part of you.

Ten qualities every friend should have

You should consider yourself incredibly lucky if you have one or more true friend(s).

10 qualities every friend should have.
  • TRUSTWORTHY
  • ACCEPTING
  • RELIABLE
  • HONESTY
  • CARING
  • FORGIVING
  • FUN
  • GOODLISTENER
  • LOYALTY
  • SUPPORTIVE
What 10 qualities do you believe a friend should have?

What is true friendship according to the Bible?

Proverbs 18:24
“A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

John 15:13 
“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”

Proverbs 17:17
"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."

John 15:15
“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

Ecclesiastes 4:10

“If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!”
