There is a lot of effort that goes into relationships. Friendships are so, so special and are to be treasured. It is so important to build up your friend in her walk with God and help her reach her goals as a Child of God. Don’ t let jealousy get between you and your friend. Be happy for her and whatever victories she may be having. Want what is best for her.

I think the beauty of friendships is

knowing that that person is always going to be there for you. And you are always going to be there for her, too. Knowing that there is someone else out there that will dance around her room and squeal when you tell her something great that happened to you. Someone that will cry with you when things go wrong and will call you just to say she’ s thinking about you and wondering how you are.

Isn’ t that just beautiful? So when you find that true friend( s), treasure that relationship and put effort into it. It’ s so worth it.

Now, go and tell your best friend how much she means to you!
