The Fray has a song by that name. The boys and I have been talking a great deal lately about being real friends to people. That as Christians - we should look at the responsibilities of friendship differently. Yes, it is easy to be around someone when things are going great in their lives and yours. Not so much so when things are going the wrong way for one of you...... or even perhaps both...
Sometimes what makes a real difference in a person's life is someone just coming along side of them and saying, "Hey.... What's going on in your life?" And then..... actually listening..... Compassion... We hear that word thrown around a lot but how often do we actually give it or show it?
Other times it is necessary to be willing to say to a friend, "STOP IT!" Really depends upon what is going on of course... or perhaps what is not.....
We cannot save anyone ourselves. We can just walk along with them in their journey. And we better be found guilty of pointing them to Jesus every chance we get.
