How Many Friends?

The word friend has been cheapened, thanks to social media.  We "friend"someone to give them virtual access to our personal information.  Yet, how many true friends do we have?  How many do we need?

A close, faithful, earthly friend is rare and precious. "The pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice." (Proverbs 27:29b)

A heavenly friend is necessary and priceless. "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)  It is no small thing to be on terms of friendship with God. (Streams in the Desert)

TV:
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
[Proverbs 18:24]
