A TRUE FRIEND

I was sitting here trying figure out what to post, and there was a post that caught my attention. It caught my attention because this is something that my sisters and i had been talking about a lot lately. We tend to think a friend is someone who never have an arguement with, someone who never disagrees with us, and someone who always knows just what to say. WRONG! A friend is also someone who can give you the truth just when you need it. Often times we get ourselves into situations that we created ourselves, we make excuses for our behavior, why we feel we should repay evil for evil, and we want others to go along with it. "yea girl, i understand..he hurt you so you're only doing this out of hurt." "yea man that dude betrayed you, you should never trust anyone again."..."they dont listen to you anyway,so just do what you want to do." " God doesnt force you to do anything if you dont know any better, religion is not for everyone.""you're single so you can sleep around with whomever you choose, and its her problem if she doesnt know what her husband is doing." "go ahead and do what makes you happy..your kids wil understand" Any of this sound familier?? And the list goes on and on. ADULTS, its time out for hearing just what you want to hear! Wrong is wrong, and the truth is the truth! If you are a friend and you truly care, you'd offer up the tough love. Pull your FRIEND aside and tell them the truth!! Why continue to watch them stay in the state that they are in? Tell them whats right, NOT what they want to hear. Because quite frankly, at the end of the day....THEIR SOUL DEPENDS ON IT!
