- We are all looking for a friend.
- We know more about the longing for friendships than the experience of it.
- The real reason we don’t have friends is we don’t know how to receive them.
- We don’t actually “make” friends. We “receive” them as a grace from God.
- Saul wanted desperately to absorb David. That is how many of us approach friendships and what makes us actually repel them.
- The best friends don’t need to have friends – but they choose to. That’s because the secret to having friends is to first be self-sufficient before God. Only then are you free to give love to another.
- Friendship is one of the most underrated means of exercising spirituality.
- We are yearning not just for a friend but for a fuller understanding of the love of God.
- In every friendship there comes a day for saying good-bye. Friendships, like all of God’s gifts, have to be held with open hands.
