Being a friend and having a friend is what God created us for.

Being a friend means being vulnerable with others. Having a friend means it’s easier to get through difficult times.

Being a friend means we can be strong for another. Having a friend means you don’t always have to be the strong one.

Being a friend means serving the way Jesus served his friends. Having a friend means being served.

Friendship is what God wants for us and from us — to serve God and others and to be served by God and others.
