Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one's nearest
kin. (Proverbs 18:24
NRSV)
"The doctor cured by hearing problem," one girl said to another.
"What did the doctor do?" her friend asked.
"She removed my Walkman!"
Do we have our spiritual earphones on? A good way to find out is to ask yourself how long it has
been since a friend confided in you. How long has it been since you confided in a friend? Have
you closed yourself off from God? Do you feel self-sufficient?
We all need our friends for mutual support. We all need God's forgiving love. So, open your heart
and receive.
Prayer: Loving God, I'm open, please fill me. Amen.
