God loved us enough, to position Himself to experience everything we go through. He sent Jesus who can relate to us on every level because He went through all of the human emotions that we experience. We have a friend who is with us always and who is closer than any other. We have a friend who can always relate to what plagues us and comfort us. Praise our most High God that He loves us that much and more!!

Proverbs 27: 5 Better is open rebuke than hidden love 6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
Ephesians 4:25 What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ’s body we’re all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself.
A true friend tells you the truth about yourself and about your actions. A true friend doesn’t shy away from saving your soul and improving your relationship with God. But, as a true friend, the truth is delivered in love – not judgment. Be a true friend, give loving rebuke and accept it, and grow together in Love (God is Love).
Proverbs 18:24 The man of many friends [a friend of all the world] will prove himself a bad friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
We are called to love others showing them godly love even when they wrong us (John 13:34). But in doing good to others, we must retain our focus on pleasing God first (Exodus 20:3).
Some people want to be friends with everyone and disliked by none so much that they may intentionally lie to others to “spare their feelings” (Deut 5:20), or refuse to save their brother by lovingly telling them the truth about themselves (Matthew 18:15), or join into sinful activities (Galations 6:1).
But remember, there is a friend who is real, loving, and has our backs more than any other being and no person or thing should ever dissuade us from honoring Him above all else (Joshua 24:15).
