Friendship & Support
When we think of a friend, we think of a “ride or die”; someone we can depend on for security and strength. We often associate the word ‘support’ with friendship. However, we must know when to draw that line. Integrity plays an integral part in friendship. If it is that you skip to your friends’ every beats; the good notes as well as the bad notes...your intentions may be good, but you’re definitely not being a real friend. Real friends should not encourage or support each other in wrongdoings. I too am guilty of being that real “ride or die” friend; the partner in crime type. When I really think about it, inciting/rejoicing in evil together brings us nowhere. We are like spinning tops in mud. Let’s ignite peaceful flames. Let’s encourage each other to respond to conflict in a passive manner. And any problems we face that are too much of a burden to bear, just place it at the foot of the cross. Remember, true friendship is not supportive in iniquity.
