Daily Devotion for August 29, 2006
Be my Friend
"Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight" 1 Timothy 1:18
The wounds of a friend are given in good faith, but the kisses of a hater are false. Proverbs 27:6
Be my friend.
Clean my tears when life seems unfair.
Walk another mile by my side when loneliness is all I have.
Encourage me when my strength is gone and I am ready to give up.
Help me to bear the load of fears that I carry from my past.
Give me your cloak when I have already taken your tunic.
But above all...Preach the truth, and hold me accountable to live by it.
Take the plank out of my eyes when I am judgmental of others instead of looking to my many sins.
Teach me to fight the good fight and not give up before the end.
When I complain, remind me of the sacrifices of others whom have given much more than I have been asked to.
Prompt me to keep my feet far from temptation, and to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Be my friend.

Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to find a friend, and to be the friend that will never compromise with lies or sins, but be willing to sacrifice even the friendship for your truth. Amen.
