Real friends can heal your soul. In times of trouble we often think that what we need is a superior game plan. Or perhaps, we need some really dynamic advice. But, all the game plans and advice in the world can't even compare with what a real friend can give. A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Friendship is critical to faith development.
Jesus centered His people on the concept of brotherly love . Real friendship will stand the test of time. In the beginning a friend is made with limited knowledge. As the years wear on, we learn more and more about one another and the friendship deepens. As it deepens, it turns into a different kind of love.
