Meet Passenger #5- A Friend

Passenger #5 - A Friend

It is a part of God’s plan for us to have friendship with others.  Some of us like many friends and others prefer a few closer friends.  Your preference probably matches something within your personality.

If we research “friend” on the computer, there would be some insightful information about different types of friends and how to build and maintain important friendships in life.  If we study Scripture, there are words of wisdom to guide the nurturing of strong friendships.  In current times, “friends” has been a freely used term that can represent various levels of connectivity among those we call friends. 

When I think of strong friendships, I think of words such as caring, dependable, honest, trusting, and blessing.  Good friends are concerned about each other and will go the extra mile to be a support for someone, especially in a time of need.  In other words----that person is always there for you even when it cannot be physical.  They are there to give you reassurance and strength regardless of your need.

Passenger #5 is one of those treasures!  Think about someone in your life who could easily be that passenger on the journey.  Have you let that person know how much you appreciate the gift of his/her friendship?  This might be a great time to do that!  Hopefully this passenger on the journey will be a new angel for someone in need as our passengers learn about one another.

Guiding Questions for comments: (Feel free to share anything of comfort each day)

1.       Reflect on some of you close friendships, note what you value the most, and find the right time and way to thank God for placing that person in your life. 

2.       Some people would be so grateful to have a friend to truly enjoy.  Do you know someone who might fit that description?  Are you a candidate for that task?  Ask God to reveal His wishes to you and pray for someone to receive the wonderful gift of a true friend.
