We've gone through many friends during our MANY years of marriage. Some were friends while my husband was in the Air Force, and we didn't keep in contact afterwards. We've had friends since being out of the service, and some kept in contact, while others didn't. Sometimes we want to keep in contact, but perhaps the other people would rather go their separate ways. There's no way we can make a person be our friend.
Friends come and go throughout our lives.
But, there is one friend that you can have that will never leave or forsake you. Jesus will never forsake those that love and trust Him. He was a friend on earth, and will remain our friend, as long as we do what He commands. Teach us your ways and help us love like you love. In Jesus name, I pray.
