“If I should die, I beg the earth not to cover my cry for justice. Even now, God in heaven is both my witness and my protector. My friends have rejected me, but God is the one I beg to show that I am right, just as a friend should.” -Job 16: 18-21 CEV

A Time to Think…
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, “What? You, too? I thought I was the only one” -C.S. Lewis

A Time to Act…
How is your ‘friendship quotient?’ In this hurry-up world, we often pass over the friends that God wants to put in our lives. So grasp every opportunity to offer encouragement to others and by doing so you have made another friend and friends are a gift from God.

A Time to Pray…
O Lord, slow me down, open my eyes to see the people around me and give me the courage to speak to them, give them joy and encouragement and embrace them in my circle of friends. I thank you for the gift of friends and because of my Jesus, my Friend and Savior, I can reach out with grace and love to others. AMEN.
