Sometimes its hard to be a good friend. Sometimes you have no idea what to do or what to say. And Sometimes, you've said all you can say and leaving it up to God is all you can do.
Haven't you ever just needed a friend to sit with you when the going got tough, or someone to listen to you as you sat there and rambled on about everything that seemed to be going wrong in your life? I can honestly say that I have needed this from time to time, and I know I'm not the only one. Lets face it, life pretty much SUCKS when you don't have a friend.
Although friendships are difficult at times, I believe that if you make it a key to love someone through it all, you are capable of being a good friend. Of course, this is never easy due to the fact that we are all human and we all make so many mistakes. Sometimes people are going to let you down and you're going to be upset. But maybe, if we put down our pride, we will be able to look past a person's flaw and realize that we all make mistakes and that nobody is perfect.
I have always made it a point, or atleast tried my best, to love a person no matter what. You can't say you'll love someone IF they don't hurt you, IF they do this, or IF they do that. You've got to look at it as I'll love this person DESPITE the fact that they let you down, DESPITE the fact that they have this flaw or that flaw. I think in order to be a good friend you HAVE to Love that person NO MATTER WHAT.
So maybe next time a friend disappoints us, we can find it in ourselves to swallow every bit of pride we have, and love them Despite (fill in blank here). After all, what happens when the tables turn, and you're the one needing a friend?
