From the website Stay Great … “The finger of God touches your life when you make a friend.” … Mary Dawson Hughes
It is often true that good friends are forever. We know them well and they know us, like no one else but our family. And even then, we may share things with our friends that we’ll never give our families. God graces us with special people in our lives and great friends above all.
To be honest, not all friends are great. There are fair-weather friends, not truly there for us when we absolutely need them … others are sometime-friends, hit and miss as much as anything … yet others may call themselves friends but are actually as much against us as for us. There is a difference in my mind between having a friend and really making a friend. Friends we make also make us … that’s where God comes in.
I love the quote for another reason … to me it relates to seeing Jesus in others. We read in Scriptures how strangers became followers, people became believers, and disciples became friends. The Last Supper is Jesus bringing together some of his closest friends, people that fully believed in him … and that is one of the best traits a great friend can have, believing in us. Never doubting our motives or our need. Just believing unconditionally.
I have a best friend like that and all I do is wish him great success in his life, and I’m there whenever he needs me. We are God’s finger for each other.
