I've had friends where once in a while we'll discuss spiritual matters, but that deeper friendship has been missing. I've searched for it, but many people today run as fast as they can the other way if you start pursuing discipleship, mentoring, accountability, etc. Thankfully God gave me Ruth, a friend who was in need of a home for a few months. She and her 4 kids moved in with me while waiting to join their military husband/dad overseas. We were able to read the Bible together, hold each other accountable to doing our daily devotions, pray together, for for each other, etc. This is what a friendship with another Christian should be able to be like. Now she's on the other side of the ocean and we have to use skype to encourage each other once a week. But it's something! Seek that out Sofia! Don't give up until you find a friend who will really challenge you spiritually, who isn't embarrassed to pray out loud with you, who isn't afraid to ask you if you're reading your Bible, who helps you memorize God's Word, etc. That's what friendship is about!J:-)mihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592290965733365642noreply@blogger.com
