The Wounds from a Friend
It was Solomon who wrote, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend…” (Proverbs 27:6).
A true friend will actually speak up when/if they see you doing something that is harmful to yourself or others.
Such faithfulness brings with it deep love, great respect, and unselfish motives.
The wounds from a friend should lead to healing and repair.
The apostle Paul wrote, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15).
The attitude of rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep should be the attitude we carry with us whenever we are confronting a friend with truth.
Truth can hurt; especially when it requires a person to drastically change a destructive mindset.
A faithful friend is able to apply the gentle surgery with love, respect, and unselfish motives to help heal.
It is only then when a friend's wounds are truly faithful.
Have a great week!
