Healthy Friendship? Real Friends??

Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Are you in a healthy friendship? Do you have friends that you can really trust? Are they your real friends or just your “real” friends? How can you know when someone is your real friend or not?

I have many friends that I can call friends only but there is some that I can call my true real friends. How do I know? I know because in everything I do, I can trust them to keep it a secret and they also can hear any problems I have. Some of my “real” friends are just friends that need me for help; they don't really care about me...do they? Are your “real” friends there when you need help? Will they risk their life for you? I would risk my life for my close friends and I would truly would; I'm also sure that my real friends would too. Another way you can know if you have real friends is that does your friends lead you into good things like good education, help you study or do they lead you into bad stuff like drugs, bad movies, and maybe in pornography.

Proverbs 8:24
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Does your friends really bring you to ruin? Do not be afraid because you have a friend that is closer than any friend you have. His name is Jesus Christ! It is true because in your baddest time, Jesus Christ is there. He will carry you through your pain and trials. He is always at your side. The only thing that we have to do is ask for His help. Jesus Christ is always ready for you. Once you ask for help, He will take attention or maybe He already took action but only you didn't know. As He take attention though, it does not mean that you will find a difference in one day! It might take months, days, and maybe years! Are you in trouble with friendship? Look for Jesus Christ! Ask and pray for help! Jesus Christ is ready for you!
