My Friend

I will be here if you want a friendship. My love is unchanging and my desire for relationship with you never wavers. I will not force friendship upon you, nor will I withhold it. Friendship is a gift, something that is freely offered. It is not something I demand, not something I expect. Our relationship can be as close or as distant as you want it.

If you decide to talk to me every day, then we will share an intimacy that few have experienced. If you choose to drop by every few weeks, then we will know each other’s plans, concerns and wishes. If you visit with me twice a year, we will continue to stay connected and care for one another. If you think it best not to talk at all, I will still care for your intimate heart needs, I will pay attention to your plans, concerns, wishes, and I will always care for you even if you never share your life with me again.


The depth of our relationship will depend on your wishes. My arms are open wide whenever you want to come into them. They will never push you away; only draw you into the embrace of friendship when you choose to receive my love. Nothing you could ever do or say will separate you from me. My devotion is unwavering, my heart is steady, and my love is constant.

I will always call you friend.

A friend loves at all times. Proverbs 17:17a
