What is Christian friendship?
Christian Friendship Of all the things in this life – none are so painful as when a friend hurts you. It is because we value friendship so highly and it affects us so deeply – shared interests, shared values and shared halp and advice. It also comes from the feeling of being betrayed – as if men are not prone to this! When a friendship is in its infancy it’s full of excitment – both parties taking great care not to spoil the fun with deciet or dishonesty. It could only ever get better! When it’s in middle age it’s matured – the friendship lile an expensive wine. But then, after some time – if the friends are not careful, they can take each other for granted and complaicency can set. The guard is let down either by accident or out of laziness. And suddenly all the world comes crashing down when we realise our friend is fallible – dread the though that we might be the same!
