Seek to Make a New Friend

Today's devotion was written by Mary Davis, a woman in my church. She is a friend to all!


"The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense." Proverbs 27:9

Friends are a gift from God. He knew we would need them on this journey from earth to heaven.
Our very best friend, Jesus, is a prime example of how to make new friends and how to treat them in order to keep their friendship.

Most of us have at least one friend we can turn to no matter what. Someone we can share our innermost secrets and desires with. Someone who let's us be who we are, loving us anyway.

Then there are the less intimate friends, but friends nontheless.

We all need friends to laugh with, make small talk with, shop with, enjoy a meal, a cup of tea or coffee with.

Potential friends are everywhere. God always knows where you and I are going to be at any given moment.

Where people are, a friend can be found.

Heavenly Father, friends are one of the many treasurers You have blessed us with. Give us wisdom to never take them for granted, always loving and appreciating the person You created them to be. And Father, teach us not to be so hurried in life, that we miss an opportunity to make new friends, whether it's long term, short term, or just a friend for a day. Thank you Father, amen.
