What is the definition of a friend? With one, we can relate. with one,we can be totally comforatble. With one, we can be ourselves. And with one, we can share our deepest emotions. All our fears, our aspirations, our problems, and our dreams. A friend is one, who can be counted for support at all the times. who is there for us, whenever we need him/her. Who will never laugh at us, but will laugh with us. How many of us have such a friend?
Very few. Isn’t it? But we all need friends. We want to have someone who can be relied upon. we want someone, with who we can communicate. we want someone, who is always for us. Who gives us the right guidance at all the times. And on whose advise, we can act. Don’t we all need such a friend? Many of the married couples want desperately to develop such confidence and reliance on each other. But many fail.
Who is left, but God? Whether, you are a spiritual person or not, you can always turn to God. You may deny God, but God does not do that. God never goes away from you,because you are one of his creations.
Turn to God, whenever you need a friend. Tell him all that is bothering you. talk to him sitting alone on a sea shore or in agarrden. Talk to him, about your day when you go to sleep. And ask him for guidance, before beginning your day.
Talk to him, before attempting anything. Tell him what you want to do and ask for help. He will help. He will always be there for you and with you. He will guide you at all the times. Never forget that a small seed grows into a big tree, but the early growth that occurs in the womb of the soil is never seen by us.
God takes care of everything at all the times. Why would He not take our care? Make friends with God. Make Him your best friend.
