Friends make a difference, but godly friends? They steer you in the right direction.
I kept coming to the same conclusion over and over: yes, I trusted God, but life still felt overwhelming, like it had backed me into a corner. I needed to vent, be heard, and, most importantly, make sense of the chaos.
Friends make a difference, but godly friends? They steer you in the right direction.
When we can't see clearly, our community is God's gift that becomes our vision. They are a reminder that we're not alone. They’re there to hold our hand, hug us tight, and affirm His truth in our lives.
Talking with a close friend recently reminded me of this. She didn’t judge. She didn’t over-spiritualize my struggles. She was simply there. Like God's love made tangible. His warmth came through in her comforting words. His truth in her affirmations.
After our conversation, my hope and confidence felt renewed. The stress lifted, peace returned,
and then, swiftly, those long-awaited prayers began to get answered.
We can’t overlook the gift of godly friends and family. This season, let’s cherish them. In a world that feels cold, hold tight to these relationships. And if you’re in a season without close friends, know that it’s possible to find companionship that is safe, who leads you back to God’s word and speak to who you are. As you believe in God for those to come into your life, here are a few things to remember:
1. Pray for the friends you need.
2. Use wisdom and discernment.
3. Be the friend you wish for to those already around you.
And, of course, we always have a friend in God. Because He knows the power of friendship, He blesses us with earthly friends to uplift and guide us. They’re both a necessity and a beautiful gift along the journey.
