YOU NEED YOUR FRIENDS It's easier to make friends than it is to be friend. Making friends simply involves being nice to people you like. Being a friend,on the other hand ,involves serious effort. Rather than waiting for others to make you feel better, you make it your goal to add value to their lives. That's why you can't really be a friend to very many people. It's possible to casually and superficially relate to a bunch of acquaintances at one time, but being a true friend takes time. Be a DISCIPLE. A disciple is a learner. Find someone wiser and more spiritually mature than you are (hint:that person is probably older) so you can learn from him or her. Be a MENTOR. Even while you are being discipled, be available to teach someone else. Here's where you'll need to be patient,because a mentor doesn't usually seek out disciples. However, if you've got something to offer others and you have the time to be a friend, people will seek you out. Be ACCOUNTABLE. In this world of shifting values and vivid temptations, you need to be in an accountability group. Be a NEIGHBOR. Love your neighbor as yourself(Mark 12:31). Loving your neighbor is more than lending tools or cups of sugar. It's care and concern for little things. It's sharing meaningful details from your own life. It's being a friend in such a way that your neighbor will see God in your life.

Ang ganda naman neto good morning bless monday
Thank you po ehehe. Words of Wisdom Tayo sa Morning haha
Yeah push lang ge
very well said, and the facts of being a friend. When I'm still new to the person I observe what they like, and sometimes feed what they wanted to hear but I told the truth if it not anymore good though they will be hurt but it's not anymore right. But sometimes they go on their way because that's what they wanted to happen. Their own decisions and what makes them happy and I'm only the support system to them. Good morning Your are right we can't please everybody here in this world and its the reality
Exactly! Being a friend requires different boundaries as to how we react and deal with them.
It often happens that people confuse what a friend is and what an acquaintance is. You cannot say that someone you just met is your friend.
I do agree with your inputs as well. It takes time to be a friend and to know if it's a friend or an acquaintance.
Yan ang the best definition ng friend. Dami pala... Where did u get that wisdom? Do you possess all of that qualities? Kasi ako I think I have eh haha. Kaw ba yan nasa pic? Nice background ha?🤭😁 Good morning
