Well, it took me to realize something about True Friendship a few weeks ago when someone told me: "Sebas, you are a true friend" which kind of makes me ponder deeper into what true friendship is all about with God. For as, we all know that Christianity is not a RELIGION but instead its something we build with God and that is Friendship, or maybe you could say relationship.

So, somehow i managed to find something about True Friendship in some christian website and wanted to share it out, but didn't have the time to do so until now..

Some thoughts that i got from there:

Indeed, friendship is built up based on a single word with 4 syallabus: Relationship. Isn't that what Pastors have been talking about? Always reminding us that Christianity is not something religous thingy going on but its always about building a relationship with God.

And a relationship is always built by spending time with each other. In our human realm, we build relationship by doing things together, we shared our problem with one another, we fellowship together and we appreciated one another.

But in God realm, in the realm of the Holy Spirit, the only time we get to fellowship is to PRAY with Him. That is like the only time we get to talk to Him, the only time whereby we get to share our problems to Him, and build up a strong relationship with Him. Many times, we are too busy in our own human realm that we don't bother to build a relationship with Him, we are too busy entertaining friends that we don't even know is he/she a true friend to us. But Him, who is always looking over us without asking anything much back in return is always there for us. But at times we are just so unappreciative of His effort & love.

Another factor would be trust. If a friendship don't even have trust among each other, is that still even consider a friendship? I would say that is Hypocrite Friendship. Come on! Friends are supposed to placed entire trust with each other. Believing in them that they can do it means they can do it. Though results does matter but i believe process is even more important.
Just like Jesus is our friend, as long as we have faith in Him, in everything we BELIEVED that what He promised He will do, He will definitely do it. And not just a common believe, but is FULLY CONVINCED. (Romans 4:21)
In another word, Trust = Faith.

Of course, the link would show us more example of why God is indeed a true friend and showed us from the beginning of the Bible to the end. In my own experience, God had always gave me the assurance of Him being there for us at all times, encouraging us to going forward, be it during day or night, stormy or sunny weather, He whom loved us unconditional is our true friend.

Signing off,
Sebas
