Love and Friendship...

I had never thought of reading 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 and think of it as related to friendship. I would usually read it and think about it as something "romantic" like if it only applied to marriage. During Spiritual Emphasis Day the speaker connected it to friendship. True friendship is also to have these qualities! Friendship should be based on Love obviously, but this time I would say love as in "God is Love"… A friendship that has a solid foundation on God will last a long time. This is where the verses play out… If we have love(God) as a solid base for friendship then it will be Patient, kind, not envious, not boastful, not proud , it will be honoring, it will not be selfish, not easily angered. We need true friends that help us grow in the Lord and be better! With those qualities our friendships will be healthy and long lasting :) I want to be a true friend and to succeed, I need Love, I need  GOD!
