Friendship Some friendships are short and some are lasting. True friendships are held together with bonds of loyalty and commitment. They remain true,despite changes.What gets in the way of friendships? Jealousy can end a friendship. Envy over what a friend has will soon turn to anger and bitterness, causing you to separate yourself from someone you care for. When respect is damaged, even the closest friendship is at risk. Friendships are destroyed when boundaries are violated. What do I do when Im having trouble making friends? We all go through times when it seems our friends have deserted us.The first thing we must do is remember that God is always our friend and will never leave us. Acts of kindness and generosity attract others to you. Whether casual or romantic, male/female friendships involve unique pressures and temptations. Christian love requires respect and decency that should be guide to all relationships, including our dating relationships. Jesus demands a standard of sexual purity in thought as well as in deed.
