I found the below friendship quote on http://www.great-inspirational-quotes.com.
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.

Nice. Isn't it? What a gift to have at least one friend like that.

Life happens and it often results that we loose touch with our closest friends. I believe any friendship that God is a part of, will always be kept by Him. When the time comes and we are able to reconnect, it's like we never parted. It's amazing how that happens! It just recently happened to me. It completely blessed and amazed me. There we were...after so much time and no communication. I breathed in deep and said, "Hi," She smiled! That's a good sign, I thought. Then the surprise came...a hug! From then on, it was like we never parted.
Unbeknown to us, God's spirit was at work in us, teaching us and inspiring us to believe the best about each other and our friendship no matter what circumstances looked like. He encouraged us to hold tight to Him and His heart and loosely to each other. God's promise to keep everything you and I commit to Him. He promises to give us a quietness and confidence. He encourages us to put our hope in Him. He promises to give us His peace that passes all our understanding to carry us through the waiting process of our becoming a true friend and having a true friend. Do we get it right all the time? No way. We are not perfect...God is. His keeping power goes beyond us and in spite of us. I love that, don't you?
Be encouraged. While we have relationships in our lives that are shall we say, under construction. We can rest easy. God is the giver of good, right and perfect gifts. He loves us. He is for us. He will make all things beautiful...in His time. If you want a great example of a true friend, look at Jesus. No greater love has anyone than this, than that a man lay down His life for a friend. That is what Jesus did...for us. I'm sure I would not have looked like a friend in my B.C. state (before I became a follower of Jesus) as a matter of fact, I KNOW I would have gotten a big "F" on my test of what a friend should be...but He loved me anyway. He loved me with the cross He carried for me...just as He did for you. Here is a saying God inspired me to write years ago,
They say friends are flowers grown in the garden of life, I say they are more like jewels fashioned by the purity of God's light.

How about you? Do you have friendships you are struggling with. May I encourage you to trust God with them. If you want to share a friendship experience with me, please do so. I would love to share in your joys, triumphs, struggles. I will be praying for you and please, pray for me too. I'm honored.
Blessings always
