If one person falls down, a friend can help you back up. But pity the person who falls and has no one to help them up! Friendships help us overcome obstacles and challenges in life, good friends lift each other up and get each other through hard times. Be a true friend, and look carefully for those who will be true friends to you. True friendship involves time, energy, love, listening and availability.
The need to have available and loyal friends is always so important. Somebody who picks up the phone, meets you where your at and celebrates your losses and victories are always the people you go to in times of need. Are you that person? Are you available? When we look for true friends, remember have you been a true friend also. So lets give our time, lets offer energy, love unconditionally, listen eagerly and most importantly lets be available.
Its also important to remember friendship grows over time and not always in large numbers. Very often friendships are only one or two good friends who remain faithful throughout seasons of life and over years of your life. If you mistake large groups of friends for good friends you can find yourself with lots of superficial relationships and not deep and meaningful relationships.
Remember the people you surround yourself with influence who you are. Those who walk with the wise become wise...and those who choose to spend time with people lacking wisdom usually end up in trouble!

Bible Verses for Discussion On Friendship
1. Proverbs 12:26: A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
2. Proverbs 27:6 Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses... As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
3. Ecclesiastes 4:10. Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
4. John 15: 12 – 17. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
5. Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm
Questions to be asked at the end of the SessionWhy is this topic important?What does this mean to us/me?How can we challenge ourselves with the verses we heard during the exercises?
Father God be with us today and help us to recognize who you are, that we are loved by our Almighty God and that you seek for us to be a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people who have been knit together in our Mothers womb and fearfully and perfectly made by our Heavenly Father in Jesus name. Amen
“For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes]. [Is 40:13]”
