A friend is

- someone who 'covers' you (your flaws, faults, sins) instead of exposing you (prov.17:9)
- someone who sticks by your side, even at their own risk
- someone who respects you
- someone who keeps your secrets
- someone who takes care of you when you can't take care of yourself
- someone who laughs with you
- someone who cries with you
- someone who carries your burdens
- someone who lets you carry their burdens
- someone who challenges you to grow closer to Jesus
- someone who praises you, but doesn't flatter you
- someone who cheers for you and encourages you
- someone who believes in you
- someone who dreams with you and doesn't discourage your visions and dreams
- someone who walks with you through hard times
- someone who tells you the truth and corrects you when you need it (prov. 27:6)
- someone who fights for you and alongside you (and sometimes with you! hehe)
- someone who rescues you when you need it
- someone who is proud of you and proud to be your friend
- someone who is not ashamed of you or your past mistakes
- someone who just 'gets you' ...understands you
- someone who promotes you and your destiny more than their own (Jonathan/David)
- someone who knows you and all your flaws, and loves you anyway

You can understand ME? Wow!

Seriously, it is great to have a friend like you. Someone whom I know still accepts me even if we sometimes vary on our opinions. You're always there to lend a listening ear if I need to talk and you even have very sound advice many times! I'm thankful the Lord has put not only your friendship in my life, but the friendships of Jade and others on Worthy! You are truly a God-send!

weird huh? how most of us dont even know what the other looks like and yet we can go into in-depth discussions about things that we wouldnt talk about with most other non-worthychat friends.
