First, what is a friend? A friend is someone who will never leave you and accept who you are. Cheers you up in times you\u2019re down and joins you in success. Give you lessons everyday and advices when you need one. Friends are trustworthy. You often trust them more than your parents. You talk about deeper and more personal matters. We must also be careful in choosing our so-called \u2018friends\u2019. However, a \u2018friend\u2019 is different from a \u2018companion\u2019. A companion is someone who hangs out with you, help you a few times and you\u2019ll just talk about simple and common things. When you need them most, they\u2019ll be busy. Again, we must be careful in choosing our friends. \u201cDo not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character\u201d -1 Corinthians 15:13. There are influential companions who could bring us down and lead us through the wrong way. They could also affect your personality and the way you treat people. Worse, they can control your life and put you away from God. These influential companions can teach you how to smoke, drink or even use illegal drugs while your friends will force you to stop those. A friend will tell you to show your love and respect, to think positive and to prioritize your studies. A friend is whom you treat as your own sibling. A friend\u2019s shoulder is where you can cry. A friend is one who will be with you anytime.<\/p>\n
GOD always attempts to lead our ways and guide us through a better life. He also guides us through our friends. Don\u2019t let anyone block God\u2019s ways. Follow him.<\/p>\n
