Will you take up the Challenge?

There are "friends" who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.~Proverbs 18:24, NLT

"Loneliness is everywhere--many people feel cut off and alienated from others. Being in a crowd just makes people more aware of their isolation. We all need friends who will stick close, listen, care, and offer help when it is needed--in good times and bad. It is better to have one such friend than dozens of superficial acquaintances.

Instead of wishing you could find a true friend, seek to become one. There are people who need your friendship. Ask God to reveal them to you, and then take on the challenge of being a true friend."
