What does it mean to be a true friend?
I was just thinking about the sermon that was preached today. It was about how we know, how our enemy feel about us because they will tell you the truth; whether you want to hear it or not.
However there are the people we call friends, they don't always tell you the truth. Some will say whatever they think you want to hear in order to please you.
The thing about it is that certain true may be what you need to hear, or want to hear. How many times have you ask a friend something and they never told you the truth, but they will go behind your back and talk about it. You know they talked about because it always comes back later. Anyway, the sermon was about the betrayal of Jesus by a person he called a friend.
Does that apply to the people we call friends? I was watching the show, Housewives of Atlanta, Phaedra considers herself a good Christian. However, she felt disappointed that her friend Kandi back away from her during the time she really needed a friend the most. Then that mentioned it to other friends. It gets back to Kandi, who said she did not know Phaedra and her had any problems with their friendship. It is sad that even the men back up Apollo more than Kandi did Phaedra. These are people living real lives in front of the camera. Two things about it, everyone was watching their life disaster unfold, air or not aired a friend would have been there. Unfortunately, on television, I don’t even remember Kandi being there once. She said she was having problems of her own, really! Her husband was going to Phaedra husband was going to prison, and it was his intent to cause as much hell for her before going. A friend would have known, so when Apollo said Phaedra was cheating; she could have come to her defends. The situation was messed up.
Do you have any true friends that you trust, will they tell you the truth or allow you to be embarrassed?
