A friend said that good people are hard to find. Once they’re found it’s important to nourish that relationship.
It’s not as though adversity was unusual before Bletchley, or that adversity in Bletchley was that much more overwhelming than on previous occasions. It’s just that the importance of good friends emerged even greater than before during this season.
Good friends don’t tick all the boxes ‘expected’ of a good friend. They may not ALWAYS call you. They may not ALWAYS be there. Yet it’s almost as if God plants a homing device on them, so they sense the time to call, and they sense the time to be present.
Good friends are present, to challenge as well as to console, to pray as well as to rejoice once adversity has been overcome.
Good friends remind you that this journey was never designed to be taken on your own, and whether they are new or old friends, they are essential – ESSENTIAL – to making progress through the hardest and greatest adversity.
Good people are hard to find and there is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother – He gives those friends in time of need.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
