Not every friend who smiles at you is strengthening you.
A real friend:
- Celebrates your growth
- Tells you the truth
- Gives and receives
- Stands in righteousness
A counterfeit friend:
- Competes
- Manipulates
- Takes without giving
- Pulls you from truth
The difference isn’t always obvious at first.
Ask the Holy Spirit for discernment. Drop a prayer in the comments.
