“A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” – Proverbs 18:24 KJV
You must choose your friends carefully because, as iron sharpens iron Proverbs 27:17, so does evil communication (bad company) corrupt good manners 1 Cor 15:33.
Everyone needs good friends, and the greatest friend of all is our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you want to make friends with people, show yourself friendly to them first Proverbs 18:24. If you want them to favour you, favour them first.
Unfortunately, some people don’t have friends because they don’t show themselves to be friendly.
Everyone has times in life when they need someone to lift them; God forbid that there is no one to lift you when that time comes. Proverbs 18:24 says that there are some friends that stick closer than a brother.
You need friends, so show yourself friendly to those around you.
Shalom!
