55 Bible Verses About How To Be A Better Friend!
Please get in touch with us if you have any questions or need some encouragement.
If you want to have the best friends in your life, start by being a good friend yourself. It’s easy to get carried away with our needs and wants, but we must remember that true friendships are built on selflessness. There are many different types of friendships. They all share the common denominator that we must treat others the way we would like to be treated. When you are in an exclusive relationship, there is a mutual respect for not being exclusive with anyone else. Dating should be a dry rehearsal to see if you and your partner are compatible. Of course, no sexual involvement.
Let’s Make An Effort Every Day To Show Love, Kindness, And Respect Towards Our Friends (And Everyone) Just Like How We Would Want Them To Treat Us. Pray For Your Friends, Keep Your Promises, Be Available To Help, Be A Good Friend, And Don’t Forget The Power Of Love, Forgiveness, And Humor!
Psalm 41:9-11 Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me. But may you have mercy on me, Lord; raise me, that I may repay them. I know that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

Remember To Do On To Others!
There are different levels of friendship, just like there are varying levels of love. It starts at the level of acquaintances, which can lead to a company, turning into a close friendship, or even becoming best friends. The word ‘friend’ is tossed around too quickly, yet real friends are hard to come by and precious. The amount of time a person has known the other person affects the quality of the friendship.

Singing About How To Be A Good Friend!
FOUR THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A FRIEND?
1. Be With Those Who Help You Be You.
You are wired the way you are for a reason — to make this world better and bring God glory with your unique gifts. Surround yourself with people who want to nurture that person.
2. Be With Those Who Believe In Your Dreams.
You and I need cheerleaders on our journey. We need people who will see the best in us. We need friends who will help us stand up when we fall — because they believe in our dreams as much as we do.
3. Be With Those Who Make You Better, Not Bitter.
There’s enough negativity in the world; try not to insulate yourself with people who see the worst in everything. Negativity is contagious, but so is positivity. Find positive people and be one of them.
4. Be With Those Who Aren’t Afraid To Hold You Accountable.
Often, the people who believe in you the most — the ones “who help you be you” — are those who aren’t afraid to speak the truth when it needs to be communicated. Keep those friends especially close.
A Special Poem About Friendships:
Be a good friend by trying to live in peace with everyone, as long as it’s up to you.
I have had a poem by Albert Camus stuck in my head for many years, which I learned when I was young.
Make New Friends But Keep The Old, The New Are Silver, And The Old Are Gold.
Through my life experiences, I realized that the people I would consider good friends would have something in common with me, such as school, basketball, baseball, work, or mutual friends.
The way to have a good friend is to try to be a good friend to others. ~ Bill Greguska
