Iron

As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Proverbs 27:17

Has your Christian life ever been difficult? It often is for me. At difficult times God usually places a Friend by us to help us through our hard times. One of Gods best best gifts to us is Friends.
According to scripture a Friend is one who pushes us to do Gods will and obey him.
The best example of a Friend that I can think of is Jonathan. He could have succeeded his father to become king but He loved David and He wanted Gods will to be done even though it caused him to lose his claim as king. Isn't that great I would have loved to be his Friend.

Even though we need Friends and Friends are good to have we need to be carefull in choosing our Friends, but once you have a Friend be like this.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

Be faithful.
