Friendship is acting out God's love for people in tangible ways. We were made to represent the love of God in each other's lives, so that each person we walk through life with has a more profound sense of God's love for them. Friendship is an opportunity to act on God's behalf in the lives of the people that we're close to, reminding each other who God is. When we do the hard, intimate work of friendship, we bring a little more of the divine into daily life. We get to remind one another about the bigger, more beautiful picture that we can't always see from where we are.

I get these inspirational messages everyday in my email and I really liked this one. I recently spent the weekend golfing with a bunch of good friends, guys who are brothers, guys through whom I can see the love of God.
Paul spoke often and very highly of many good friends he had made in his walk with Christ. Friends are an essential part of the Christian life, make good ones, cherish them and keep them!
