Friendships?

Sometimes, I forget.

I forget why we need friendships.

I forget that me, myself, and I are not enough together.

I forget that my God is a God of relationship

I forget that He wants to be my friend, my family.

I forget that he wants to be with me every step of the way.

I forget that although my relationship with Christ is priceless,

My relationship with others is also.

I forget that God is the perfect definition of community

Community, through His own person,

The Holy Trinity;

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit;

All are different but all are the same.

I forget that what is worth it is always hard work.

I forget that relationships are always a risk,

I forget that friendships are never easy,

I forget that my relationship with Christ requires effort.

Through it, we all have gained our salvation, our hope,

But through it, some have lost their lives, their comfort,

And through it, others have won their lives back, 
They have found 
Satisfaction.

I forgot that, by accepting Christ in one’s life,

Although there is gain, there is always risk,

Like in every relationship.

Like in every relationship, there is struggle,

There are joyful moments,

Moments of peace,

Of gentle silence.

There are moments of laughter,

Moments of discomfort,

Of quiet anger,
Of secret shame.

Moments of brokenness,

Moments to be supportive,

Moments to be supported,

Moments of selfishness,

Moments to argue, to confront,

Moments of hurts.

Nonetheless,

These are moments.

Moments with a friend,

One who cares,

One who is present,

Involved.

Here is

what makes friendship

so important.

The gain of relationship is always priceless,

With Christ and with people

But in friendship,

Although at times,

There may be awkward moments,

With a real friend,

There will always be

The right,

The comfort,

To be fully

Oneself.
