I have a friend who brought me a diet book. He walked into my house and said, “Here you need this.” I was quite amused. I was very thankful he cared enough. We all know the danger of extra pounds. Since my friend had just himself lost 40 pounds and is feeling so good he wanted to share the experience with me.
I am thankful for friends who care. And of course the most important friend of all who cares about me is Jesus Himself. He too reminds me of areas in my life that need attention. And just like my friend who did not just tell me to lose weight but brought me a book to help, so Jesus will supply me with all I need to fix up the other areas of my life.
That is what friends are for.
