The need

And I wish I was there

And I wish you were here with me

Because I cannot do this alone…

True friends

Are your friends strong enough to correct you when you’re wrong?

Do they love God above you, so that they would even risk the relationship they have with you to call you back to God?

Or are they mostly weak men and women who value your affection and fondness for them more than they value God’s pleasure and approval?

A well-intentioned but weak friend is sort of like a paper coat —
a good concept, perhaps, but not worth much when the rains start.
