When your FRIEND seems DISTANT…
FRIENDSHIPS are often tested by SEPARATION & SILENCE
when you are divided by physical DISTANCE & you are unable to TALK
with each other…FRIENDSHIPS involves times of CLOSENESS & times
of DISTANCE…these are some things you must go through to mature your
FRIENDSHIP…you have to learn to TRUST each other in the absence of
confirming circumstances…and HOLD on to GOD…and not on your
FEELINGS…to keep you TOGETHER…you have to put your FAITH in
GOD and allow your FRIENDSHIP to be centered & focused on our Lord
JESUS CHRIST…surrendering completely to Him so that your
FRIENDSHIP will remain and last this lifetime and beyond…
until eternity… then you will be FRIENDS FOREVER!
FRIENDS of Christ and FRIENDS in Christ….
