Purpose driven friendships will be challenged throughout the course of our lives. Friendships that God sends should edify and challenge us to become more Christ-like versus causing us to stumble and backslide. There should be love, grace, and a reciprocation of actions in the friendship that makes it fruitful and healthy.

“The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.”‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭27:9‬ ‭. “A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.” Proverbs‬ ‭17:17‬
