This poem was inspired by Lisa’s post where she shares a series of brilliant and encouraging quotes about friendship. Take a moment and visit her post at The Road Back to Life.
Destiny unites true friends
Transforming life with its spark
Sincere friendship fills two hearts
Never alone in the dark
Never take friends for granted
Honesty, laughter, and tears
Staying connected insures
Treasures shared over the years
Sharing life’s pain, healing wounds
Long-lasting friendship endures
Glue holding life together
Truly caring, reassures
Always count on each other
Offering silent support
“Forever minutes” share love
Caring never falling short
Life travels through forest trails
Friends together, all these years
Brings us home through darkest times
Greatest love when friendship cheers
From Proverbs 18:24: “Some friends play at friendship but a true friend sticks closer than one’s nearest kin.”

From the words of celebrated German-born writer, Anne Frank: “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
Gathering His flock
World hindered with needs
Christ’s teachings share grace
Unselfish love’s deeds
Following God’s Word
Single, perfect Lamb
Christ’s enduring light
Blessed telegram
Improving this world
Struggles helped along
Christ’s example leads
Actions always strong
Answering with hope
Aid for neighbors met
Christ encourages
Faith’s righteous mindset
Caring for others
Mercy walks ahead
Christ bringing comfort
Witness daily bread
From Matthew 25:31-36: “When the Son of Man comes in His glory and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and He will put the sheep at His right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at His right hand, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’”

The rich man is not one who is possession of much, but one who gives much.
From Mark 21:41-44: “He sat down opposite the treasury and watched the crowd putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which are worth a penny. Then He called His disciples and said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. For all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.'”
John Chrysostom served the early Christian church during the late 4th century and early 5th century in Constantinople where he preached and was a prolific writer.

Whatever purpose motivates your life, it must be something big enough and grand enough to make the investment worthwhile.
From 1 Chronicles 28:20: “David said further to his son Solomon, ‘Be strong and of good courage, and act. Do not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.'”
