Sharing: A Special Kind of Friendship - Val J Aspenns - October 1984

Val J Aspenns

True friendship is one of the most positive and rewarding aspects of human personality. Yet, sad to say, what we too often experience is only superficial, put-on friendliness that lasts about as long as a vapor on a windy day. How often "friendship" dissipates when the need for such support is most urgent! God wants us to be friendly. "A man who has friends must himself be friendly," says Proverbs 18:24. But how does God define being "friendly"? The fact is that we need to develop friendships that are true and lasting, that are able to weather all the storms and tests of life, that go beyond a friendly smile and a passing handshake. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
