The quality and direction of our lives is dependent on friends. Our friends mean so much to us. They are the people who are physically there for us when we're down, and there to share the joys of our lives too. Sometimes they seem to have a greater influence than anyone else, even God...


True friends, are those who accept you just the way you are, but will not leave you as you are. They are committed to the friend than the friendship and will not shrink back even if it costs the friendship. They strengthen their friends in God and remind them about his promises.


My friend once said, "life is like a bus, people of all sorts come, and go. not everyone will journey with you till the end" Hmmm...


Sometimes I wonder: If life is so short in the first place, how are we supposed to tell the true friends from the not-so-true-but-nice-to-have friends when genuine friendship has to go through the test of time? How do we know if they will journey with us till the end?


Trust is a thing that is hard to gain and easy to lose.
