I don’t like clicks. They clack and clang. They report news of others and clash with those who oppose them. When an isolated group of women gathers to see an agenda come to fruition, I’d rather not be invited to join the click. I understand we all have a few close friends in whom we confide, but that does not equate to a click. Friends who are pleasing to Jesus will speak truth with love. They are upfront and honest even when their words of rebuke hurt. I’ve heard words of correction. This clears the noise and ensures I walk with caution and vigilance. 

I have close friends that I have known for an extended time. I’m able to share my struggles and heartaches to receive a frank and honest response. When my friends speak straightforward truth, this causes me to cringe, but has helped me mature as I walk with my Lord. Perhaps this is the purpose of deep friendships.

True friends can hear your side of an issue and encourage you while pointing out your error. We need friends who know how to quote and apply God’s word to our lives. Truth is like a two-edged sword. It pierces our hearts to reveal what is of the spirit and what is of the flesh. God’s words will wound the flesh, but strengthen our spirit.

Ladies, avoid clicks and find godly friends who love you enough to tell you the truth. If you desire to reflect Jesus, one way to do that is through faithful friends.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

Proverbs 27:6

Iron shareneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

 Proverbs 27:17
