Psalms 1:1; Psalms 143:3

As I remember, I had friends I could depend on
But as time went by, things got a little strange and
The rules in my life started to change
The soul of humanity is defeated by his selfishness

Trust, honesty and devotion is no
Longer seen in friends
Money appears to be the poison and as a result
Many end up in the deep wide ocean
Tragically, friends are few
Magically this is why my heart grew and as time went on
I met heavens crew; I never knew the importance of this
As I sat with them, I enjoyed the sound of silence
I realized I was bound to have a friend for life
I started wondering about many different things
I realized that friends are important but I also realized that
Friends could rob you of many different things in your life and
So as the years went by, I knew that
My heart grew because my friends were few

Jesus is my Lord and Saviour
But He is also my Friend

The others have already said what I was going to say. Great insight. I also have realized when occupied with friends your time with Christ is much less. It is great though when you can incorporate the two! I personally love solitude- when my husband traveled a lot I felt I grew the closest with God. It was a hard time but God used that tough time to Let me get to know Him better. Now that he is home full time- my time with Christ has become harder to accomplish daily. (But I am enjoying my husband!) God uses different seasons in our life for growth and for rest. Love Danette

This is so true. At bottom, our friends, and those we love, are only sinners and will without doubt hurt us. It's a hard lesson, but as you found, Jesus is there in spades.

Jesus is the truest Friend we can have. So even if we have only ONE FRIEND - JESUS, then we have all we need. God bless you.... Helen
