Proverbs 18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."
Growing up, I never really understood the concept of "Friendship". I mostly even thought to myself, what the need of having friends was. I had friends but I never really saw the importance of friendship, until I stumbled on this passage in my mid-teenage years, Oh! what light shun on my soul. Friendship is a beautiful thing, no man can ever say " He doesn't need friends", some people even say "I don't keep friends" , and then I laugh, it's one thing to say "you don't keep too many friends", it's another to say " you don't keep friends". To be a successful person in life, you need people. Success is not attained until the people factor is in. When God blesses you with ideas, you definitely will need people to execute it with. God saw the need of a friend for Adam, hence Eve was given. Eve was primarily a friend for Adam before a wife. A friend is someone who believes in you, someone you work with in achieving any goal together or any vision together for yourself, for him/herself , or for others. The scripture above shows if you must have friends, you must first be friendly, a negative attitude will attract negative people, a positive friendly attitude will attract positive friendly people. You attract people like you. If you ever say "I don't have friends" , it simply means one thing, You are not a friendly person. You must look into yourself and change any negativity. You will always need people. You will always need friends. Do have a great day ahead😀
