Friendship

 

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

I used to hear it when I was younger but never really understood what it meant.

I thought that everyone I met and smiled with was a friend. The people I sat with and shared a meal were friends. The guys I schooled with were friends. 

Little did I know that friendship goes beyond eye contact, sharing a meal, sharing a class, partying together and even doing business together. I never knew that there was something called an acquaintance. And sadly it turned out that many of the people I met were just acquaintances.

I have realized that I’m not a good friend as well. I’ve failed the ultimate test of friendship. I’ve just been a comrade, a playmate, a neighbor, a business partner, a roommate and a church member. 

Friendship means familiar and liking of each other's mind. People who are friends talk to each other and spend time together. They trust one another and also help each other when they are in trouble or are hurt. Friends are people that can be looked up to and trusted. I guess friendship is just another word for love.

I desire to be a better friend. 

Love all, Serve all.🥰
