I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends. John 15:15
"Friendships are easily dissolved when they are make-believe. But genuine friendship is not affected by poverty, mistakes, or distortions. This friendship, if it has been shaped by the grace of God and is made whole in God, brings everything back to God. This is holy friendship.
There is no explanation for why a faithful friend is so hard to find today. Everyone seems selfish. Few have a friend of whom it can be said, "That person is to me a part of myself." -- Richard Rolle: The Fire of Love
