FRIENDS: Every Skin Teet' Ain't A Laugh!






When We Fully And FinallyCome To The Realization That 
Our Creator, Savior, And High Priest 
Is Also
Our Forever Faithful Friend
We Should Then Look Seriously At What We Call 
Our Personal Friendships 
To See How They Match Up To The Exemplar Aka Example! 

Is Our Friendship A Circle!?! 
Is It Giving!?! 
Is It Taking!?! 
Is It Going Sideways!?! 
Or Has It Already Acquired The Wings Of The Wind 
And 
Is No Longer Mutually Beneficial!?! 

Beloved, 

To Have A Friend We Must Make Ourselves Friendly 
And
Available For Friendship! 

General Moses 
And 
Father Abraham 
Were The Friends Of Our Almighty God: 
God Himself Said So! 

Jesus Christ, Our King Blessed Forever
Called His Disciples His Friends! 

Soon-To-Be-King David 
And 
Prince Jonathan, King Saul's Son  ... And Heir
Were, By Covenant, Forever Friends! 

Friendship 
Is 
Built On Love, Trust, Mutual Consideration
The Desire To Bless
The Willingness To Care
And
To Complete ... Not Compete
And
The Desire To Know 
And 
To Be Known
And
To Give 
And 
Not Just Take, Use, Abuse, And Deliberately Confuse! 

Oooh, Light-Bulb Moment ... 

Jesus Christ Had Judas Iscariot  ... The Traitor
The "Friend" Who Only Wanted Benefits
Close At His Right Hand! 

If The Lord Of Life Was Betrayed 
By His Bosom Friend Who Ate His Food
So Will We
Because
WeAre Following In Our Lord's Footsteps! 

Think, Dear Ones
And 
Ever Remember That 
A Cold Heart Cannot Form A Warm Friendship 
And
Let Your Bible, The Preserved And EternalWord Of God
Be Your Pattern 
And 
Your Guide! 

Every Skin Teet' Ain't A Laugh 
Aka Not Everybody That Shows You Their Teeth 
Is 
Your Friend: 
Pet Dogs Show Their Teeth 
And 
Bite The Loving Hands That Feed Them! 
Choose To Be Wise! 

Peace!

Love, Like, And Appreciate!

We Love Because
The Living God Is Love
AND
We Are Called To That Purpose!

We Are Instructed
To Love Our Neighbor
As We Love Ourselves
AND
Brethren
This Is Quite Instructive!

They Are People That We Love
BUT
Do Not Necessarily Like
Even Though In Our Hearts We Hold Them, Dear
For Their Conversation
Their Behaviors
Their Interests Are Not Ours
AND
Constant Lounging In Their Presence
- Physically Or Orally -
Is Not Something For Which We Do Care!

Remember ...
Only Those Who Agree
Walk Together!

Pleases Me!
Brings Me Pleasure ...

There Are Those Persons Whom We Love
AND
Whom We Like
AND
Whom We Sincerely Appreciate
Those For Whom Gratitude Is A Banner We Bear
AND
It Only Takes
A Simple Action On Their Part
For Recognition In Us To Dawn
AND
For Us To Know
That They Are Keepers
AND
We Desire That From Us
They Never Depart!
This Is The Person
That Is Friend!

We Previously Called Them Friend 
Unconsciously
BUT
Something Happens
AND
We
- By An Act Of Will -
Recognize
That Friend Is What They Really Are
AND
Then We
- With Finite Understanding -
Understand
The Words Of Our Lord:

... There Is A Friend
That Sticketh
Closer Than A Brother!


What A Friend We Have
In Jesus
A Friend With Whom We
Our Burdens Share
- Joys, Hopes, And Pleasures Too -
A Friend To Comfort
Guide Feed And Lead Us
The Friend
That From Us
Will Never Turn Away!

He Is The Friend
The Soul's Life-Giver
The Friend
In Whose Blood
Our Sins Are Washed Away
The Friend
From Whom Grace Comes
AND
Mercy
AND
Sure Salvation
The Friend
Whose Love For Us
Knows No Bounds
The Friend On Whom
We Can Ever Depend! 

Jesus Christ 
The One Righteous
IS
The Friend
Who Gives Unto His Faithful Friends
Abundant Life
AND
Immortality
That Is
Life Everlasting
Life  ... Without End!

Jesus Christ Is My Friend!
Will You Make Him Yours?!
