There are Friendships that we Cherish.............

So.... I thought I would just post about this. I consider myself a very lucky man when it comes to friendships. I know lots of people and have been to many a far place. God has been amazing in blessing me with so many people who have enriched my life beyond ways they don't even know. When I think of friendship in the Bible I instantly think of a few examples, particularly, Jonathan and David, Jesus and John, Paul and Timothy. Jonathan and David grew up together, learned together, fought together. They had such a true love for one another that could not be broken. Even after Jonathan's death David took care of Jonathan's lineage. When I think about Jesus and John (the disciple whom Jesus Loved) I can't help but think of him just right next to Jesus just hugging Him and showing outward affection. There was nothing John wouldn't have done for Jesus. I often envy John, having the ability to lie upon the master in the flesh. I can not even imagine what it must have been like! Then I think of Paul and Timothy. Paul was Timothy's spiritual father. He wrote him letters of encouragement and warning, love and chastisement. What a great example of a great friendship. I guess if i could learn to model my friendships with all three of these amazing examples God has given to us. How awesome would all of my friendships be? So this goes out to everyone who wants to be a Godly friend and who already is........thanks for everything that you all do for me. God Bless
