Proverbs 18:24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

If you want to be able to have friends, then you have to show you are friendly; sound so basic when said like that but a fact many people do forget about.

We cannot expect to have many friends around us just because we think we deserve it. Friends come to those who are friendly to them.

How would you class your relationship with Christ? Would you say you have been friendly toward Him or have you let Him down a bit lately?

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perishes, And no man takes it to heart; Merciful men are taken away, While no one considers That the righteous is taken away from evil.

I think we can all admit to looking at our lives an wondering if we are actually safe from eternal death. Yes I know I have eternal life and I know nothing can take that away from me… but I still have moments of anxiousness.

We all have to die at some stage because our bodies are mortal and God has deemed it so. We struggle when we see good people die from terrible things because that makes us wonder why.

Just maybe God has taken them home because He knows what is ahead in that person’s life and wants them to not go through it…

Ecclesiastes 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one’s birth;

When do you aim at getting a good name? Do you wait until the day before you die and then try and make it all good?

Most of us do not get to know the day we are going to die. Most of us do not get to any point where we can make it all good overnight!

Making a good name for yourself is hard work and you will need a lot of help along the way.

God wants each of us to not just know Him better but to be able to have a good relationship with Him which is infectious and we want to spread to those around us. Share it today!
