This time i'm gonna share about FRIENDSHIP... i'm sure most of us have friends... well to me friendship is a blessing that no money can buy.. i LOVE my friends and i appreciate you guys very very much... friends can be such a shoulder that u can lean on when u face difficulties... I have friends who have helped me face some of the saddest times in my life and i have friends who have gone through thick and thin with me... well i hope that we still can and hopefully become better friends...
Throughout my years of developing friendship i find that there are certain crucial things that we miss out during the process of building friendship... the first thing is transparency... sometimes we tend to put on a mask when we build friendship... i sometimes do that as well especially when the person is new to me... the dangerous thing about this is that sometimes it hides us real well and when the relationship gets better we tend to get more exposed... i have many many many flaws in life (i'm sure some of my friends can testify to that).. there are times that when my friendship gets better, ppl tend to notice and know the true me.. well i have to say that some can accept me and some cant..(we cant live to satisfy everybody)... as the friendship builds up i become more and more transparent and i have learned that being yourself is important when it comes to a good friendship... we also have to learn how to accept each other for his/her flaws for nobody in this world is perfect...
The second thing is that friendship requires SACRIFICE.. the word sacrifice here can be in the form of time, effort and $$$$...hahha... I dunno about you but i think i invest quite a lot on friendship... not that i have all the money and time in the world but i MADE time for it...i find it very important that we make time to fellowship with one another so that the friendship can grow to become stronger... it can be a movie, bowling, or just a simple mamak session... anything that u do together will be good") at times its a bit hard to put in some effort but nevertheless we should give it a shot...haha...
Here is some friendship moments.....
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm;but how can one person alone keep warm. And if somebody overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken"
I hope u guys can indeed build great friendship with your friends for it is a blessing to have friends!!!
