What real friends are made of.

anyone have any ideas?

I've wonder about this for a while. So some quite cool developments on what is probably going to be a life long search for the definition.

It would seem that yet again God has a supremely great direction for my life that includes using me in the best way to help other people. Really quick overview; friend feels crap about themselves, Jono reminds person of Gods grace, friend radically different. The greatest thing I feel about this is that I truly had nothing to do with anything that has happened. I think lots of people would like to take credit for help that they think they have given to help a friend in need, I can't; I have simply been used by God to get to the heart of someone else. Some may think that is horrible that God was 'using' me to get to some other person but I can't think of a better way for it to happen; if my creator is directing my actions, then surely I can only make the right choices, say the right words, write the right messages. I guess the hardest thing is letting God direct us all the time; that is the challenge.

So I'm currently thinking that being a real friend...has a lot to do be being like Jesus, being open to Gods direction and being humble enough that in the end you realise all you are is a tool; a very happy and loved tool, but a tool nonetheless.
