I've read an article written by Dr. Bill Denton Entitled : "Friends and Friendship" which i found in heartlight.org. This article explained what are the characteristics of friendship.
You can always tell a real friend : when you've made fool of yourself, he doesn't feel you've than a permanent job.(laurence peter)
Many people experience of having few friends, because they are choosing the right friend that they will interact with them. Having a few friends doesn't mean that you are a loner. But the disadvantage of this is you have a limit of friends that you will talk to, they are not there always but the advantage of this is you've chosen the true friend. Searching for a true friend is not easy, but God provided a true friend for each of us that you can lean on and count on him.
Having a many friends is easy because many people want's to have a friend. Is there someone who didn't want to have friends? Of course none because friend is that one you can talk to if you have a big problem or even if its a little problem, they can help you to solve that problem. They will not left you alone if you are down. Life is full of relationship like friendship. If you don't have a friendship, you don't have a friend that you can rely on.
Base on the article, Friendship is a blessing to all of us because God is the one who provides a friend to all of us. Friends that will motivate us to be a good person and having a memorable experience with friends you have. God created the world with challenges that can make us stronger. Together with friends you will have a true relationship called "Friendship." Don't be afraid to make friends with other people, there's is no bad things that will happen if you make friends with them. You will be a better person because of them, you can learn many things with them. Just be yourself and have a relation ship called "Friendship."
