A true friend encourages you when you are struggling. He corrects you, gently and with love, when you have gone astray. He forgives you when you fail. He prods you to personal growth, stretches you to your full potential, and most amazing of all, he celebrates your successes as if they were his own.

“If someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently…Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

— Galatians 6:1-2

Lord Jesus, I thank You for the special friends who have celebrated my small successes as if they were their own and who have strengthened and encouraged me in the time of trouble. Bless them I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
