To have friends is a natural state of being. You may go out and do things together and spend time doing these things that people like doing. These may be social. We enjoy it all by being there with our friends and there is no loneliness by being in each other’s company. It is by having common interests that friendship becomes a natural state of being. The enjoyment of time spent together becomes a natural way of spending time enjoying oneself in each other’s company.
It may be that through common interests there is an enjoying of playing a sport or even watching a professional club that becomes an interest in the same things. You may all go together as a group to have a following of special interests that become a major taking up of one’s leisure time and it becomes a no-miss event to enjoy as one. There are also times when one member of the group becomes in need of help or advice that the others will all pull together in order to help out and give their time of special needs.
After all, that membership of the group is to bring of one mind and action for the whole. All special events can afford that membership of the group to being of one mind and action for the whole. Friendship can bring out the best in people as they all pull together for a common cause. In times of war friends have been known to join up together and join the same regiment and if one member losses the life, it is not uncommon for these friends to look after the needs of the families who have lost their breadwinner through the death of the family member. True friendship is an asset that may bring life a new purpose.
Jesus had his disciples, who traveled together as friends and looked out for each other’s needs as they traveled from place to place. They would have discussed the teachings of Jesus as they walked together and would have tried to do as their master taught by being friends with each other. Friendship is a uniting of minds, so that the greater good is served. It may last for a lifetime and become a living thread of life for each other, as they strive to do God’s will for the success of all in the group and not just for themselves alone. Friendship is a good thing to enjoy and to give each other.
