Friendships are gifts




 Have you ever looked at a friend or even a family member of yours and be like, "thank God you are in my life" and the person feels the same way too. 

There is a way God brings people into our lives. 

Not all relationships happen by accident, some were arranged by God for specific purposes. He looked at us, he assessed our needs and then he placed people around us that would meet those specific needs. Appreciate someone you know is a blessing from God today.


You didn't meet the people in your life by mistake and the people you would be meeting in the future  would not be by mistake. 
Do not be quick to push people away because you feel they are not giving you the world definition of value like money, connections, etc. While all of those things are good and God also provides people in our life that can give them to us, your friends might be giving you peace, making you smile and laugh when you are sad, hearing you talk about stuff that makes you happy, supporting your little dream that you are just starting out, seeing you in your down times when no one else notices, believing in you and reminding you not to give up on yourself and your dreams, encouraging you basically, giving you great advice, tolerating that side of you that you know no ordinary person would and loving you regardless etc.
 All these things are also very valuable. There is no friend that can love you as much as God does but God knows that we would also need people who can  provide some certain things for us that is why specific people are in our lives today, VALUE THEM!!!, don't wait until they are no longer there.


"And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
           Proverbs 18:24

DO NOT HOLD BACK

  In as much as I believe God places people in our lives by himself, I also believe there is a place of intentionality and effort when it comes to making friends and sustaining friendships and any other type of relationship (even the one we have with our parents) How many friends would you still have if you did not stop communicating? How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt...

God type of love

  The Word love is a very deep word. It means different things to different people. Here is my perspective on love... If there is one thing I know, it is everybody deserves to be loved regardless of their background, race, age qualifications etc. The man in the Palace need to be shown love as much as the man on the street. Don't Love people just because of the benefits that you can get from them alone. Even if they cannot offer you anything still love. In Love there is compassion, hope, patience, understanding, kindness, forgiveness, peace, no strife, no envy, no jealousy no competition but like Jesus, there is willingness to bear the burden of other people and share in their joy. For people in romantic relationships, love is not infatuation and lust, they are both self seeking but it is an intentional decision to choose someone regardless of the situation. Note that you don't have to be friends or close with someone to love them, as a matter of fact some people just call thems...
