Facebook has brought a whole new meaning to being "befriended". With just one stroke, you're either "accepted", "blocked" or "unfriended" as a friend. It kind of reminds me of my high school days when we just wanted to be accepted unconditionally and included in a circle of favorable friends. Who likes being shunned, rejected and not included? The mere thought just breaks my heart and makes me want to seek out that person who falls outside the "circle of acceptance", just to show them they're unconditionally loved.
"A friend loves at all times" Proverbs 17:17
Friendship is possibly the most valuable gift we can give someone. It's enduring, selfless and unconditional. But being a friend requires more than just hitting the button of acceptance; it requires an action from the heart and a loyalty that sustains.
Thought to live by: True friendship loves at all times.
