Consider two kinds of friends: friends of the road and friends of the heart.
A friend of the road is a friend who walks life’s road with you. You are next door neighbors or work in the same office or attend the same school or church. They are true friends, however, when the road ends and one of you leaves the place you shared life, the friendship of the road slowly vanishes.
On the other hand, at times a chemistry, a unique bond, forms in a friendship such that when the road ends, the friendship continues, a friendship of love and for life. Such friendships are friendships of the heart.
It makes no difference if you are 10,000 miles apart or haven’t seen one another for years, were you to get together, it would be as though no time had passed.
Ask the Lord who loves you to give you as many friends of the road as possible, for they are true friends, while also asking your Lord to move many of those friends off of the road and into the heart!
Remember, your dearest friend of the heart is Jesus, who said, “I have called you friends.”
