Caring More About Your Friend Than Your Friendship, by Amy Joy

"A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."  Proverbs 17:17

"Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."Proverbs 27:6

     Recently, while praying for some friends of mine who are in some situations that I am concerned about, I realized that if I really care for them and their souls, then I need to speak to them and make them aware of what God says about the situations that they are in.  It is very scary for me to think about bringing these things up.  I don't like conflict.  I don't like to say anything that might offend people. 

     While praying, it came to me that I need to care more about my friends than my friendships.  I need to be willing to lose my friendships with people for the sake of their salvation.  What good will it be for me to keep a friend, yet have my friend go to hell because I didn't have enough love or courage to speak up?  

     I am still scared, but maybe you can please pray for me that God will give me boldness, wisdom, and the words in these situations.  

"All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." Matthew 10:22
