True Friends Are Forever

We don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. No matter how good friends are, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. True friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love. My best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time. Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up. Your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you. Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

We may have many friends throughout our lives, but only a few true friends. True friends can come at any point along our life’s path. We never know which stranger might one day be our best friend, and which friend might one day prove false. We need to approach each encounter with an open mind and an open heart, so that there is a better chance that friendships will arise. We need to keep our hearts free and our minds uncluttered of bigotry, predispositions and hatred if we want to have the best relationships with our friends.

“Two are better than one, for they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. If two lie down together they will keep warm. Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
