Kaleo Min S:2 (friendship)

People say friends come and go. They say, “sometimes friendships break apart as we grow and are character changes, thus separating each other’s interests, creating less of a desire for each other.” However today I heard a saying, "True friendship is one that includes personal interests but goes beyond even that." So really just because I grow to have different interests should I let go of my former friend? They say, “A true friendship is one that lasts forever.”

I know of people who have a best friend from grade school that perseveres even into marriage life, and I'm not talking about literal family here. This must be something really special, but is it "better" or just different, than someone who just simply can't seem to find a best friend, but definitely has friends? Some say girls are more for having best friends than boys. I would say this varies among sex.

The huge blessing to “be with” a person definitely creeps in here. Think about the traveler, the one meeting new people and places all the time, as appose to the one who lives in the same place all there life. When we think of friendship we think of time, energy, precious moments spent together. Is it not a gradual process trough these times with each other that makes the friendship ever more growing and advancing? Is this not what helps us to love each other more and more? Being with a person is something so unique of it’s own compared to that of the distant or of communication through technology. This uniqueness tends to lean me toward the idea that being with a person surly is a better way of relationship in friendship.

What about the popular friend, the one who has many companions, as appose to the one who maybe has one or two friends, but they stick closer than brothers. The one of many may come to ruin (Pro 18:24), but this is not certain. Again which one is “better”, or is it not a matter of better but just different?

A lot of so I'll say friends in high school I barely say a word to anymore, some not even a word, is this a problem? Am I responsible to hold such a love as this, or is this out of my position or league as human, even though my desire is to grow more in love as God would GIVE it to me? Can I relate this question to (Pro 16:1-4) and just simply commit? My desire become God’s desire?.....

Harry Unger brought us to the story of David and Jonathan again. Now these guys had a strong friendship, possibly something like soul mates. Jonathan was very fond of David (1 Samuel 19:1). So this creates the idea that they enjoyed each other and shared the same feelings of equal amount to each other. Even though Jonathan's own father wanted David killed it is much like Jonathan’s act of loyal defense helped him to stand up for David and speak well of him in front of Saul (19:4-5). Harry Unger says, "A true friend is like a loyal Defense standing up for it's lover." This is really like an unselfish love, looking for the best in each other. There is also the idea of equalness, yet there are no doubt different levels of friends we have. For example the mate as appose to a friend, or again is this a matter of not level but difference? Just to add I am hinting at level in the sense of better.

I cannot possibly love everyone in such a way let alone even one person! Matt B. says, "All humanity is drenched, soaked in sin from head to toe because of what happened in the Garden of Eden." "out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, hateful talk to another (Matt 15:19).

Really I may look good on the outside but what is on the inside? What is really going on in my mind? I cannot deny that without God Jesus and the Spirit it would be impossible for me to be humble. I need the roles of the Trinity to keep me from any type of evil. Of course looking at the level of friendship God really desires is far more than I could ever achieve, and on top of this I really do not see the totality of God’s desire.

So yeah, “be like Jonathan first,” but we must know if he was really doing all these great things he must have been a man after God's own heart, for if it is about myself than I must be out there to please people, but if it is about God than I would rather obey him than man. David at this time in the story was innocent and Saul had no good reason to kill him (19:5). Likewise did the chief priests and elders have any good reason to kill the Messiah (Matt 27:20-23)?

Yeah this is pretty wild, to actually lay down my life, sacrifice, for others, for friends. Ha yeah I really do not quite understand all this but it ever so seems to lead this way. Ultimately God could only ever know. Again one in spirit is something to ponder.

Thinking about: gradually, friendship, love, time, heart, hope, be with, GIVE, humility, content, believe, evil, sinful nature-Spirit, oh and freedom as appose to God's will.
You know life is a wired thing sometimes. Sometimes you have days were you are really not too sure what to think, or well you cannot come to any conclusions about your thoughts. You almost have an answer and then it passes, or another thought creeps in. Maybe I am just thinking too much, but I like to think. Actually sometimes I wish my mind could go blank for a few hours. It is actually pretty messy and when people ask me how my day is or about events, it's like, well I could say it was good but really it seems like it is so much more than that. But do they really want to hear the whole shpeeel or am I under estimating the meaning of good? Good, the word is used so often and can become really annoying to use, yet sometimes all I want to say is a simple word like "good" cause I don't feel like talking, or expressing what I really think. Sometimes there is so much going on in the mind, so I say "I dunno?" cause really I do not know what I am thinking.
Why do I have to be so unsure about things all the time? I wish I could be more confident, yet there are times were I am pretty darn confident. Hmmmm, yup it is foggy yet clear times.
Ever have times where you think about God, Jesus the Spirit, their roles and how amazing it is? They are beyond my mind, really phenomenal and then tears start to well up in the eyes, wow ahhh moments, just little ones. I'm not really sure what is going on here, ya I'm pretty messed up, but I'm guessing everyone else is too, to some degree. It is kind of cool though being messed up, yet very annoying. Times are mountainous and it doesn't really seem to stop.

"BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" There's a scream for ya! It's cool, and this is life.
