How to Change a Life

Friends come in all shapes and sizes. They may part of your life then leave. Or sometimes you make a relationship as children and carry that closeness into adulthood. Sometimes friendships end. While it may be sad to see the ending of a friendship, they just play themselves out. Adversely, some friendships are often only meant for a season–for a moment. But don’t take any of them lightly. They all hold the ingredients, and scripture holds the directions on how to change a life.

God Created Us to be Relational

God had a specific plan when he put us together. From the stories of David and Jonathan, beginning in 1 Samuel 18, we see the importance and power of friendship. Theirs was a friendship that lasted for a lifetime.

God Valued Friendship

The passing of time doesn’t own friendships. I have friends from high school who I haven’t seen for years. But at my last class reunion, my heart rejoiced from all the love shared between folks there. It was commonality that we shared that made these friendships valuable.

“One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
Proverbs 18:24

God Appointed?

Are friendships God appointed? If we were asked if a friendship changed our life I’m confident we can all think of at least one person who changed the trajectory of our future.

Listen to this woman, Miss “A”, whose life was changed by one person. That person, primarily known as a teacher, but also as an attentive and caring friend.
