Friendship
Proverbs 27:6 Wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. (New King James Version)
Proverbs 27:6You can trust a friend who corrects you, but kisses from an enemy are nothing but lies. (Contemporary English Version)
I would add prized is a friend who is willing to suffer pain in order to correct you. We all make mistakes in friendships. Sometimes it's hard to know how to correct those mistakes. What's worse is when you feel bad for the mistakes that you've made, but see no way to fix the relationship. How can you be friends with someone who won't even recognize the ways that they've hurt you? It can be a difficult road to walk down and I still don't know the answer, but I trust God to work this problem out, whether that means providing new friends or restoring old ones.
