True Friendship

God made us with a special lust,
For friendship with people we trust.
This lust is for kinship with God,
Though oft misplaced because we’re flawed.

Become a friend to make a friend,
strangers can feel the vibes you send.
True friendship is founded on trust,
So being honest is a must.

A friend in need is a friend indeed,
So, make the Golden Rule your creed.
And do your best to be a friend,
The kind who endures to the end.

Human friends though faithful and true,
They have their limitations too.
But there is one whose love is pure,
His friendship will your cravings cure.

So, seek Him out, He’s always near
And longs to draw you to His care.
His friendship you’ll enjoy the most,
As you receive His Holy Ghost.

Your life will blossom like a rose,
Even when facing life’s tough throes.
Jesus your friend will be with you,
To succor and to see you through.
