Empty Words

True friends in this day are a precious commodity. We live in a world filled with back stabbers, swindlers, druggies, thuggies, busy bodies, deceivers, temptresses, violators, soothsayers, creepers, slinkers, goonies, sorcerers, politicians, heathens, sweet talkers, and Ted Turner (and all of this is can be found in just 2 super bowl commercials). So in a world that offers no place for the Christian, is there someone whom you call friend. Maybe it's a brother or a sister or cousin. It could be a spouse or significant other. Some of us may even still have a close friend from college or even highschool. Still even others may confide in a Pastor, Youth Minister, or Teacher. Reguardless of how you are connected, remember this. A true friend speaks the truth in love. In a society where it is practice that one should tell another what they want to hear so as not to offend them remember John 8:32, "Then you shall know thw truth, and the truth shall set you free.

There is no value in a lie. There is no excuse for lying, especially to a friend. Truth is the only thing that heals. Truth is the only thing that saves. A lie simply gives a false sense of joy which is short lived and ultimately prolongs the healing process. Put your faith in the truth. When a friend comes to you in need, share the truth. Even when it's painful, abide in the truth. All else is empty and fruitless.
