FRIENDS

Friends are the source of stress and happiness. Friends are a company of people that one shares joy and sadness. This is why you need friends. It is not just the happy times but also the sad times you need friends. Sharing is the heart of the gospel. Jesus spent time with his disciples and they grew up with Him. He was their source of knowledge about God and His ways. Then when the Holy Spirit came He was their source of life. Knowing about God is not the same as knowing God. Knowing about your friend is not the same as knowing him. So knowledge is good but only when it is applied that it is of any use. Having knowledge alone does not solve anything. Having medicine and not taking it is useless. The medicine needs to be taken to benefit from it. Friends need to be together and learn from each other. Therefore friendship with God is the means of knowing Him.
