Being a True Friend (me as a Christian friend)

Friendship is meant to be developed, planned and cultivated.
There are 2 types of friends - Casual friend & Close friend.

Casual friends are the result of circumstances,
Close friends are result of choice.

The bible say that we must choose our friends wisely, as mentioned in Proverbs 12:26
"The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray"

Here are the types of people you should <u>avoidu> being as close friends with them:
- Lazy People
- Angry People
- Immoral people
- Greedy people
- Unbeliever

As seen in Proverbs 15:19 - The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns. But the way of the upright is a highway.
1Cor5:9 - I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

Here are the types/characteristics of people you should look out for for a close friend(s):
- Look for those who help me to be wise
(Proverbs 13:20 - He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed)

- Look for those who will help me share my burden
(Galatians 6:2 - Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ)

- Look for those who will help me grow spiritually
(Hebrews 10:24 - And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works)
sometimes, in a certain point in life, our spiritual self might be low, therefore we need friends who can help us, by stirring us up again! so as to serve God happily:D

Above all these mentioned, we, must be friendly!
Proverbs 18:24 - A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother

Lets seek God to find our true, close, best friend today!:D

See you guys in Church!=D

hello guys!
its been a while since the blog got updated, so i'm here to drive the stacking-up-but-you-don't-see-it dust away!

anyway, its been a rather hectic week for me cause i just finished my mid semester test! woohoo! but then, i think i'm going to flunk the last 2 papers cause totally care-less. T.T nvm, there's another semestral exams! jiayous!

Growing in Passion for the Lord!
Passion = tense emotion, strong feeling, a great devotion and intense conviction which motivates us towards a compelling action.

3 Areas of being Passionate:
-Spiritual
-Passionate about serving one another (Acts 2:45)
-Passionate about living their life/live to God (Acts 2:46-47)

Prayer is the key to restore your passion for everything!
2Tim1:6

Family..

Hello guys! Just received an email from a friend of mine. Found it really meaningful, so that's why I'm here to share!=) Enjoy!

Something 4 all of u.
Enjoy :)

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
'Oh excuse me please' was my reply.


He said, '! Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you.'


We were very polite, the stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.


But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.


Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.


When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown.


He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.


While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,


'While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.


Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.


Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.


He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'


By this time, I felt very small,

And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
'Wake up, little one, wake up,' I said.


'Are these the flowers you picked for me?'
He smiled, 'I found 'em, out by the tree.


I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue.'


I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'
He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway.'


I said, 'Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'


FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.


And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?


Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU


Pass this message down =)


You will receive a miracle tomorrow.
Don't ignore and God will bless
