You are a very rich person if you have friends who help you stay in love with God. We may have very friendly people in our live s that love us and care for us, but if they fail to help us stay in love with God, they can end up hurting us more than helping us. This may seem a little strong, but the main thing in all of life is loving God wholeheartedly. To do that we need friends around us who help.
Friends who help you love God (hylg) are usually not the friends you emotionally connect to. You emotional friends are usually people who support YOU, make YOU feel important and give to YOU some type of reward. There are other friends who don’t give YOU as much support, but in the long run supply to your spirit and life what you actually need, the challenge to love God more. Can these be the same person? Only if we allow from them both their kindness and severity!
HYLG friends come in all packages. Some of those who are the best, are not the people we would choose to be friends with. I am learning to enjoy the Lord more as He brings people into my life, not for my enjoyment or “YOU”ness, but for the development of loving God more. Thank you God for hylg friends.
