daily word - true friends

Do you have friends? What is the depth of your friendship? Do you stick to common interests and jointly held views? These are safe areas, but this is a superficial level of friendship. Do you have friendships that are deeper and stronger, that will bear the weight of conflict resolution or transformative growth? There are certain things that you need to hear that you don’t want to hear. If you make the effort you can avoid contact with anything challenging or unpleasant, and this is truer than ever before. But in doing so you will avoid growth. Who do you know that will tell you what you need to know that you don’t want to hear?
