A real friend is God's evidence on earth of His love for you.
A real friend is a channel between you and God, a conduit for the Holy Spirit. Her words are the Lord's wisdom, spoken to you in a voice as familiar and warm as you can imagine.
A real friend does not judge. She invites you to examine. A real friend does not direct; she invites you to pray. A real friend does not compete; she elicits your rest. A real friend does not diminish; she nurtures growth and inspires courage. A real friend does not help you rationalize; her words take aim with grace.
You cannot hide from the eyes of a real friend. She sees what you hide and hears the words you cannot say. Her prayers for you are priceless treasures as she bends her knees on your behalf.
Today, praise God for the real friends that He has put in your life.
