Sometimes we think that if knew someone for a very long time or we've been with that
person throughout our lives , we knew everything
about him. That we are able to understand
and accept whatever flaws and characters we have. That even though we are hard
to deal with because of our different personality, they will still accept and
love us . But
sometimes it's not that enough. You cannot measure by the time of
years the level and depth of friendship you have. Even though you have build
your dreams together and even promise that you will be friends for life, still it's not a guarantee that friendship
will last. There are friends that who will be there for you, only when you are happy, when you have something to give,
when you do things that pleases them.
But still will leave you instantly, in a snap of a finger, when you just need from them is just a little understanding.
I have seen
different kind of friendships and some of them I'd witness how it was falling apart with no reason at all. Just because they don’t want to understand each other, because they don’t want to sacrifice just a piece of their pride for their
friends. Their ego eats them little by
little and they are too blind to see
the suffering their friend is going through because of
them. They think nothing but
themselves, their comfort, their wants
and their demands.
They don't care if someone is crying every night because of them.
They don’t care if someone is losing so much of himself because of
them. They don’t care if someone is
losing a family because of them because they are his family. They don’t care at all as long as they are
happy.
You
will distinguished a true friend in
every season of your life. Someone who will be there for you when you are
happy, who will celebrate with you in
all your achievements and victories in life but most specially who will be there
for you when your world is falling apart.
He will be your cheer leader, your companion and your greatest fan, someone who will still
believe in you when nobody does. He will understand you and everything that you're
going through and will never judge nor
condemn you for all the mistakes that you have done. He will be the saddest if you are sad. The one who will shield you from any arrows
of life. The one who will give
all his strength in order for you to
stand up again and move on. Someone who
will assure you that the world is still beautiful and there are many so wonderful things
waiting for you to see.
Life
is full of battles, full of heartaches , full of misery but what
it makes so beautiful are those
people still who love and accept us in spite of our imperfection, of our flaws,
of our shortcoming. Those people who truly knew us and believe in us. And in
the end of the day you have nothing but thanksgiving to the Creator for creating
them and putting them into your life as a reminder that though there are some who choose to leave you but they are still plenty who choose to stay and continue the
journey with you. Indeed , you are still blessed.
There is no greatest love a person can give for his friend than to lay
down his life for them (John 15:13).
