Each and everyone of us has some friends who will stick with us through thick and thin,and those that will walk away at the slightest sign of trouble. In campus,some friends only call you on Fridays asking where the party will be. Others dont even call or text over the holidays,so I have been trying to get a yardstick of separating the wheat from the chaff because sincerely some are just there to drag you down.Which is the best yardstick to know a worthy friend? Someone once said, ''Lord,thank you for letting me know my enemies,it is my friends that worry me''

This I have thought about for quite some time and I continue to. A great friend is someone who is willing to give you more than you are willing to give back. A bad friend is one who wants to receive but not give. I learnt friendship from the book of Job.When Job was in hardship,they choose to sit down with him,try to feel his pain then approach him before they made judgments. They shared life with him both in adversity and prosperity,in silence and laughter. The good Samaritan is another place I found friendship. Focus on being a good friend and you will attract people who appreciate the goodness in you and chase away those who don't.Just my 2cents.

I almost forgot,what are your views on friendships?
