Good, Bad, Ugly<\/p>\n

Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Hebrews 13:5.<\/p>\n

A dear friend of mine sent me a text message that said, \u201cI am so glad we can tell each other the good, the bad, and the ugly!\u201d We have been friends for many years, and we have learned to share our joys and our failures. We recognize we are far from perfect, so we share our struggles but we also rejoice in each other\u2019s successes.<\/p>\n

David and Jonathan had a solid friendship too, beginning with the good days of David\u2019s victory over Goliath. 1 Sam. 18:1\u20134. They shared their fears during the bad days of Jonathan\u2019s father\u2019s jealousy. I Sam. 18:6\u201311; 20:1\u20132. Finally, they suffered together during the ugly days of Saul\u2019s plans to kill David. 1 Sam. 20:42.<\/p>\n

Real friendships are a gift from God.
\nGood friends don\u2019t abandon us when external circumstances change. They stay with us through the good and the bad days. Good friends also may point us to God in the ugly days, when we may feel tempted to walk away from our Lord.<\/p>\n

Real friendships are a gift from God because they exemplify the perfect Friend, who remains loyal through the good, the bad, and the ugly days. As the Lord reminds us, \u201cNever will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Heb. 13:5. – Keila Ochoa. Daily Bread.
\nPrayer: Dear Lord, I thank You for the good friends You have placed in my life, but above all, I thank You for Your friendship.<\/p>\n
