What kind of friend are you?
In Mark 2:1-5 is the story of the paralytic man being lowered through the roof unto Jesus so He can heal the man. The four men who lowered the paralytic were his FRIENDS, not any family members. Notice the determination and the faith they had to carry this friend of theirs up to the rooftop and break the roof open and then lower his body while laying on a bed. Those are real friends, the kind that are willing to walk alongside of you while you are suffering and need help. Are you this kind of friend? The friend that carries the burden of another friend? The friend that intercedes for her? The friend that helps the “helpless?” The friend that is determined to help another even if it costs you time, energy, money? Are you the type of friend others can count on without feeling they are burdening you with their problem? Or are you just quick to give your opinion about their problem and not offer to help in any way, including praying for them? Check yourself this day. Be a real friend.
