Friend
What is a friend? Who is a friend? Someone who you respect; Someone who receives love and loves in return; Someone who listens, and trusts you to listen; Someone who knows when to be silly, and when to be serious. A friend is someone who I can tell my strengths and weaknesses.
I have a friend who knows me very well. I can tell her anything. She gives me good advice, and will love me unconditionally. She is my hero.
I have a friend who doesn't know he is my friend. He encourages me and builds me up in my life and in my faith. His stories and life lessons give me many things to think about. He challenges me. I admire him, respect him, and love him as a dear friend. He may never know the impact he has had on my life. His name is ... a secret.
I have this one other friend. He has given me so much. My heart belongs to him. I will live for him eternally, and will never cease to be amazed by him. He listens to me whenever I need to pour out my heart. He speaks to me when I need advice. He loves me despite my mistakes and faults. I can bring him my troubles and he will wipe away my tears. I can laugh with him. He gives me joy. He fills me with purpose. He will never leave me. He is my very best friend. He is my Savior. He is my love.

A friend in my view is a person who sees my weaknesses, and doesn't allow me to make excuses for them. In other words, they aren't co-dependent types. They want my freedom and happiness more than I do. That's because they have vision in places where I am blind. They see more potential in me than I do for myself. They don't give up when I don't progress as I should. They speak life into me when I've given up. They are examples to me of what people of God are supposed to look like. They have authority in the heavenlies and make things happen that others only dream of through prayer and faith. They have wisdom and understanding that I benefit from. They have joy and are full of love, grace and mercy. However, they are not bullied by the forces that come against them, or their friends. In fact, they are full of fire when the weak are attacked . They are strong in prayer and the Word of God. They make me a better husband, Christian, a better man. They point me to the Creator, Jesus Christ, and I thank them by responding likewise!! Thanks Alexa, you are one of my friends!!
