GOD'S PROMISES - A FRIEND

Ask God to bring true friends into your life that you can trust and count on in good times and bad.  A true friend is someone you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to and they will never breathe a word to another soul.  A true friend will not judge you when you share hurtful or shameful experiences that you have endured. A true friend will not be envious when good things are coming your way.  A true friend is something to cherish.

"...you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things...your life is now hidden with Christ in God."  Colossians 3:1-3
