Each Day Already is a Challenge

The problem with friends

My cousin, the psychologist turned truck driver, said something that struck a chord with me yesterday. He said the problem with friends (and he added spouses and lovers to the mix) is that they learn your interests but not your passions. They learn and know your interests, but don't know really know your political views or the depth of your faith. They learn your superficial desires, but not what's really in your heart.

I think Edward may just have something there. In today's busy world, we probably don't take the time to get to know the insides of our friends. (Heck, we may not want to know the turmoil that goes on there!) We should, though, if we're trying to be more like Christ. The Bible tells us that God knows our heart.
