The righteous choose their friends carefully,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
Proverbs 12:26 (NIV)
Jesus, sometimes I like to think of myself as an island, and yet my spirit still wants to connect with lots of other islands. Yeah, I admit it, my life is better with friends. But I also know that at times I have regretted some of those friendships. No friendship is perfect, but sometimes these relationships have brought me sadness and even harm. Help me to choose wisely. Truly. It will make all the difference—between nose-diving and thriving!
Questions for Pondering…
What unfortunate circumstances have I gone through when friendships did not work out?
What are some qualities that I think the Lord would like me to look for in a friend?
