The cartoon is correct, it is better to have a few real friends than a lot of people who are just "friends in name only". Now, I am not so naive as to think that there is only one type of friendship. For, who would ever compare the friendship of a spouse to that of someone who you just casually "hang with"? Unfortunately, some friends come and then go- and then leave a hole in your life that stays and stays with you. But, what if you had a friend who would be your friend FOREVER? There is one, but there is a "catch"...
John, Chapter 15
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you. 16 You didn’t choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
The "catch" is- Jesus is our LORD!!! We will either listen or not and then either rejoice or lament (depending on what we do). My wish for both myself as well as you is the former!!! May God bless you in following your LORD!!!!
