"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

We all have friends that we hold close to our hearts but we also have friends that we don't give enough value to but God still blesses us with them as well. So we must never take friendship for granted especially when one is betrayed by a friend, really hurts sometimes.

We have our friends and they are beautiful. They love us even when we don't feel lovable, they stand with us in times of need and they support us when we are down. And then there are those friends who always let us down, who never answer your calls and text at the right time and who always have an excuse for not showing up on time. I'm sure you know a friend like this too - a friend who has hurt you over and over again.

Friends are like stars. You don't always see them but you know that they're there. A best friend is someone who sees the bullshit and the flaws and decides to stick around anyway. A true friend will protect you from your enemies, fight for you no matter what, and listen to your problems even when they have nothing to say. And at the end of the day, your friend would rather be with you than anyone else, even if they had another choice. Remember that there's someone in your country that dreams of meeting you, and hopefully, one day will meet you.

The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7 verse 15 that, "great is your mercy on those who love you". It's true. It's such a pity that when one is betrayed by his or her friend he or she tends to be upset and angry. Great is your mercy O Lord God, forgive us all of our sins. Value your friendships. Appreciate the people you know and spread the love.

No one can put a price on friendship, but there might be some who can. New research has found that some people value their relationships more than they value money.

For the first time, scientists have taken a look at how people's brains respond to monetary and personal rewards at the same time. The work, highlighted in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on October 5, 2016, reveals that "money doesn't directly hold an intrinsic value; it has an indirect value through personal relationships.

You don't get to choose your friends, but you can choose who you're friends with.

Friendship quite simply cannot be forced or dictated nor can it be bought, as friendship is not a commodity but a relationship that must be based on honesty and trust.

More meaning can be derived from a true friend than a million dollars.

Good friends don't need to constantly prove themselves or the depth of their feelings for each other; they just are...as they always have been.

No one will ever know how much you love them till they are gone, Appreciate your friend cos no one knows how much they love you. Forgive your friend cos no one knows how much you forgive them and value your friendship cos no one knows how great it is still to be your friend.

Thank you for reading, I really do appreciate your time.

Bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.

Good friendship is not easy to come by. Once we meet one, we should secure the bond and never expect much to avoid things like "I asked for help and he refused".

Good relationship can not be bought with money and I appreciate the work of scientist for making people to realize that the value of money is due to personal mindset and it doesn't have a singular value when we compare how people handles it

I tried not to have many friends coz, such bad things will definitely prevail, with the little friends I have, they still hurt, but we have to move on, and know each friend for whom they are
