A Few Good Friends

“If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar."

In my lifetime I have had a lot of people that came at me as a wolf in sheep’s clothing; although nowadays they are more like wolves with sheepskin coats because they don’t even bother to cover up their faces anymore. Please beware of these cunning creatures because they usually have ulterior motives to help get you off track and as far away from Jesus as they can.

If you have good friends in your life, then you are truly blessed. I have many associates in my life but only a few good friends. I am talking about friends that have been with me through thick and thin. They never stabbed me in my back, in fact they helped remove some of the knives that others had stabbed me with. I have friends that helped me when I was lying on my face. I mean friends that would literally put their fifty cents with my fifty cents, and we would split an M&M for lunch. One lesson that I learned while going through those hard times was that when you are down, a friend will help uplift you, but a foe will either disappear or stay around and kick you in the head to make you feel worse. A friend will help encourage you, they are happy for you, and most importantly, they pray for you. If any of you out there have true-blue friends out there, make sure that you tell them how much you appreciate them hanging in there while you went through the storms. I may not have a lot of them, but when it comes to true friends I'll take quality over quantity any day.

Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y'all

On my way,

Thanks forthe comments. I was only telling the truth, you have a way with words. I guess we have something in common because I am sometime told the same thing.I don't know about you but I write from my spirit because the words just flow better. I just can't force it.

Again thanks,and as I said before keep doing your thang!


Be Blessed.

Thank you Lord! I have been truely hit with a "Know It ALL" person. It sad when they can come and tell you things, and you listen. However, when it's your time to speak what thus said the Lord, they know it already.
