Bible Verses about Friendship and Love
Let me talk about the Bible verses about friendship and love, Well, it is a blessing if you have a true and loyal friend in your life, it is hard to believe if anyone says that he/she has no friends, well it can be possible too, there are people who actually don’t like to make friends but the reason behind not making friends could be greater than this, well who knows, what’s going on in someone’s mind, unless you have a very close friend who knows your every pulse.
But as I said, having a true friend is not less than a blessing, and actually in reality we all need a friend in our life to whom we can share our thoughts, emotions, our pain, our future plans, to whom we can cry on his/her shoulder in our worst time.
Fun Fact: Our friends know about our condition better than our family members!
Somebody has quoted very nicely that “A friend in need is a friend indeed” means A friend who always stands for his friend in any condition, and this is what a true friend does in love.
Let not understand me wrong, by having said friend always stand for his friend, doesn’t mean that you should stand for his wrong doing also.
Good friend Vs Bad friend
Yes, you read it right.. Not every friend is a good friend, there are bad too, and you should make your friends very wisely, the only difference between good and bad friends, you can understand by seeing their way of work.
Hold on! Let me explain you deeply
Good Friends – “A bad company corrupts good character”, you must understand to whom you’re accompanying with, A good friend will always encourage you to grow, and support you in every aspect of the area where you could excel, Having good friends also show your mindset too, the more you’re in a good environment, the more you’ll think better when you able to think better, you’ll able to explore yourself better, that’s how the life goes on when you’re having a loyal friend around you.
Bad Friends – As I said above, And I don’t want to write too much about this, if you focus on the above points, you‘ll be able to differentiate easily, who the bad friend is.
Remember if a friend is compelling you to give the company in his/her wrong-doing, then you should stay away from such friend, because a good friend never leads you in any filthy work, rather than he/she will guide you to be on the right track.
