THE WORD FOR YOU TODAY......FRIENDSHIP (1): A MAN WHO HAS FRIENDS MUST HIMSELF BE FRIENDLY.(PROVERBS 18:24); THE LEVEL OF FRIENDSHIP YOU GET IS DETERMINED BY THE LEVEL OF FRIENDSHIP YOU GIVE. FRIENDSHIP REQUIRES SACRIFICE, COMMITMENT, TIME, AND ENERGY....THINGS WERE RELUCTANT TO GIVE. THE TRUTH IS, MANY OF US ARE UNCOMFORTABLE LETTING PPL INTO OUR LIVES. WE GREW UP IN HOMES WHERE INTIMACY WAS RARELY EXPRESSED, COMMUNICATION WAS USED AS A FORM OF CONTROL, AND RULES WERE MORE IMPORTANT THN RELATIONSHIPS. AS A RESULT WE ARE RELATIONALLY IMPAIRED. THT DOESNT MEAN WE CANT MAKE FRIENDS, IT JUST MEANS WE MAY HAVE A HARDER TIME DOING IT. WHN IT COMES TO FRIENDSHIP, HERE ARE SOME TRUTHS YOU MEED TO CONSIDER: (1) WHN TWO RELATIONALLY IMPAIRED PPL GET TOGETHER THEY DONT SOLVE EACH OTHERS PROBLEMS, THEY DOUBLE THM. (2) THOSE IN THE FAST LANE OF SUCCESS MAY SLOW DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO SPEAK TO YOU IN CHURCH OR @ THE COMPANY PICNIC, BUT UNLESS YOUVE GOT SOMETHING THEY NEED OR WANT, DONT EXPECT THM TO BE AVAILABLE TO YOU. (3) WHN YOU BECOME LESS NEEDY, YOULL BECOME MORE ATTRACTIVE TO OTHERS. AS LONG AS YOURE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS AND FILL THE HOLE IN YOUR SOUL, YOULL DRIVE PPL AWAY. PPL HAVETHEIR OWN STRUGGLES AND DYSFUNCTIONS; THEIR NOT LOOKING TO TAKE ON YOURS. SO WHTS THE ANSWER? SPEND TIME GETTING TO KNOW GOD THROUGH PRAYER AND READING THE SCRIPTURES. LET HI TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE AND WHT YOURE WORTH....SOMETHING THT CAN HAPPEN ONLY WHN YOU SPEND TIME W HIM. AS YOU BECOME SPIRITUALLY AND EMOTIONALLY WHOLE, YOULL BEGIN TO ENJOY YOUR OWN COMPANY.....AND YOULL HAVE MORE TO OFFER OTHERS........AMEN
