Friendship in our days has been watered down so much...we have so many friends with little commitments to them. That is not what friendship is meant to be. From the Christian Bible., Abraham became a friend of God through covenant, he went as far as giving up his only son for God. Friendship is truly about sacrifice and commitment. Being able to give up things that are not convenient for you to give up for the sake of friends is true friendship.
A man who must have friends, must first of all show himself friendly. I am tired of this kind of selfish friendship in this generation, where we look at each other as friends only when we need something from the other, and once it's gotten, the friend is forgotten; away with the selfishness.
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
-Proverbs 17:17
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
John 15:13
Jesus is our example. When we have friends, we cease to make our own interests a priority. The interest of our friends should be number one. This is what friendship should be.
Note: you can call someone your friend when you are committed to such a person. It’s your commitment first before theirs. You have to be committed to someone first to expect commitment from them.
If you are indicted by these words, you need to re-affirm your commitment to your friends.
