Friends
Friends are friends forever
when the Lord’s the Lord of them
and a friend will not say never
cause the welcome will not end
(“Friends” by Michael W. Smith)
I don’t have too many friends. I meet a lot of people, but only a few really become my friends. I just realized that yesterday, when in a camp for Shine Youth in Jogja, an old friend of mine told a story about how he prayed for me to be what I am now.
It’s nice to have friends. But you know what, it’s great to have a friend that actually prays for you, not only mention your name casually, but actually prays for you. Thank you my friend. You wouldn’t believe it if I tell you that you have blessed me so much that day.
So, I have decided to pray for my friends at the end of this day, and this song by Michael W. Smith is a perfect companion.
Friends are friends forever
when the Lord’s the Lord of them
and a friend will not say never
cause the welcome will not end
Thought it’s hard to let you go
but in the Father’s hands we know
that a lifetime is not too long
to live as friends….
