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

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.”

 

 

Easy Ways How To Make Friendships Stronger! 

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

James 4:4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

 

What Are Real Friendships?

Friendships are worth the effort to make them work out, but what if you can not find friends?

We all need friendships; the question is whether we are going to put in the energy it takes to build strong friendships or not?

If we think that If you believe that friendships will grow naturally, there is some truth to that, but in reality, it takes time, effort, energy, sacrifice, patience, and love to make friendships thrive!

I have noticed in my life that when I nurture a friendship by giving the other person respect, their time and space, and focus on their interests more than dumping my problems on them or being less self-centered.

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 how-to below. ~ Bill Greguska
