How To Be A Friend

Read: Proverbs 27:6-17

A man who has friends must himself be friendly. —Proverbs 18:24

Bible In One Year: Proverbs 25-26; 2 Corinthians 9


Our daughter Melissa had many friends during her high school days. One of her best friends was Katie. After Melissa's death in a car accident, Katie told us how they had become friends.

Katie was the new girl in school in fifth grade, having transferred from California. She felt alone and awkward and out of place—until one day early in her first year. That's when Melissa noticed her sitting alone on the bus.

Mell got up from her seat, sat down next to Katie, and started asking questions. They sat next to each other every day from then on and became inseparable friends for the next 7 years.

Our world has so many people who need just one act of love to change their lives. These people may not think they fit in, or they may be facing turmoil that makes them feel all alone. Sometimes all we need to do is extend a hand, offer a smile, or speak a word of encouragement. As believers, we know and experience the love of God (1 John 3:16), so we are especially able to reach out to people and share that love.

There are enough people to go around so that everyone can have friends. Let's take the initiative to make sure no one is left out. —Dave Branon

I went outside to find a friend
But could not find one there;
I went outside to be a friend,
And friends were everywhere! —Payne

When you see someone in need, be a friend in deed.
