Friday, November 19

A true friend shows love at all times and is a brother who is born for times of distress.—Prov. 17:17.

 

Today, our brothers and sisters face a variety of challenges. For instance, many suffer from natural or man-made disasters. When that happens, some of us may be able to welcome these friends into our home. Others may be able to help financially. But all of us can ask Jehovah to help our brothers and sisters. If we learn that a brother or sister is discouraged, we may not know what to say or how to react. But all of us have much to offer. For example, we can make time to be with our friend. We can listen sympathetically when he or she speaks. And we can share our favorite comforting scripture. (Isa. 50:4) What matters most is that you are there with your friends when they need you. We must be determined to build and maintain strong relationships with our brothers and sisters now. Those friendships will last not only through the end of this system but for eternity! w19.11 7 ¶18-19

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

 We need friends who we can rely on at any time. For this to happen we need to work at having close bonds of friendship. We don't need many friends, all it takes is just one good friend to make a world of difference. Never give up in praying to Jehovah for such a blessing in your life.

 

The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah

It's good to have friends among our brothers and sisters but one must be careful not to be too close to someone of the other sex if one person is holding a torch for the other (to quote one brother in the thread below) because it can cause a lot of ill feelings.

There is this thread where this danger is highlighted with respect to platonic friendship when feelings are misinterpreted. 

 

 

Daydream -

Scientists have discovered that daydreaming is an important tool for creativity. It causes a rush of activity in a circuit, which connects different parts of the brain and allows the mind to make new associations.
