“Friends” by Dusty Rhoads A friend is a gift you give yourself.

It can be more precious than water or gold. It is a gift in return for the love you spend on his or her behalf. Friendship is not a cheap thing, so both give and accept this gracious gift. Friendship grows in love and you will find that you have room in your love for many. God proved that He loved us all, so include Him as one of the friends you give yourself. You will find more peace inside yourself and a head start on a good life in your mature years. Life is an uncertain thing and only too short to be spent in prejudice. So let yourself grow in friendship.
