Healthy Friendships Take Time And Energy!

Healthy friendships should not be taken for granted…They should be cherished!

Some of the healthy friendships I have would all have the same common denominator of the investment of time, energy, forgiveness plus a few other qualities. Healthy friendships do not just grow on trees, but like tree need to grow deep roots in order to become strong. Sometimes there is a need for pruning of one’s self in the areas that need attention (the weed that sometimes creeps in).

Do you often think more highly of your friends than yourself? This is a good quality to have, although being aware of your own needs is very important too. One very important thing in healthy friendships is the ability to communicate effectively to be able to share your thoughts and feeling and also be able to understand the other person. Close friendships are very valuable and healthy for us to grow in life. ~ Bill Greguska

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. Helen Keller

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.
