Dear Rangers
I posted this last year and I thought it would be good to post it again so we can all
think about the friends we have here on Rangernet.
Dear Rangers,
I just an e-mail from Lorraine about friends and it made me think, What
are
real friends?
Firstly, there is acquantances, people we know their face but that's about all.
Secondly, outer friends, people we talk to occansionly but we do not get to know
them.
Thirdly, inner friends, these are the one we can talk ot openly about how we feel.
Fourly, Best Friends, These are the ones we can count on when we need to. And the
ones that we are willing to help. (although we should help all that we can. It is
easier to
help those we know)
Fifthly, Mates, These are the ones that GENTLY correct our mistakes.
They do not say "Don't to that". They say "Why not try it this way" Mates
are the ones we can count on at all times to aid us and comfort us. For many of
us our Best Mate is our wifes (or Husbands), but we do have others that we
can count on as well. They will not let you down.
For me, I am happy to say "Jesus is my Best Mate" He was the one who
gave life and my wife to help me find him. It Lindy that has been my
anchor when I've wanted to rush into something without thinking. He also
provided Bram, so I could have a male companion to talk to. Between Jesus,
Lindy and Bram, I am a very blessed man.
I know I have many close friends on the 'Net and I value these friendships deeply, but
sometimes you need a shoulder to cry on or someone just to listen to you talk.
There is an old saying;
"False friends are like Autum leaves, found every where,
True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare,
So treasure the true friends you have."
This is the YEAR OF JUBILEE.
LET'S PROCLAIM GOD'S LOVE TO A DYING WORLD
Say to the captives, 'come out,' and those in darkness, 'Be free!'
Isaiah 49:9
I looked to the heavens to where God dwells
I looked into my life to see he lives there as well.
Love in Jesus
