The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when. ~ Simon Sinek

If you have five solid friendships in your entire life, you have been blessed with a lot! Remember that friendships are the hardest ships to sail, but they are worth it. Here are some encouraging scriptures about friendships.

John 15:13-15  “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another. ~ Eustace Budgell

I have noticed that those relationships tend to go better, last longer, and become stronger. Are you ready to build strong friendships? Then read more about the how-to below. ~ Bill Greguska
