Real Friends: How to Find Real Friends & How to Be Real Friends.Sample

When a friend does something that hurts us, it’s easy to feel offended or upset. In those moments, it’s important to remember that none of us are perfect. We’re all going to get it wrong sometimes. And when we do, it’s important to offer the same kind of forgiveness Jesus offers us—a forgiveness that comes from love. Does it mean everything always goes back to normal? Of course not! Sometimes friendships have to change, even after you forgive. But it does mean that you can extend love and forgiveness to others who hurt you or to those you’ve hurt.
Is there a friend who has hurt you? Or maybe a friend you’ve hurt? Ask God to bring love and forgiveness to that situation.
