Great Friend


Friendship isn't how you forget, but how you forgive.
Not how you listen, but how you understand.
Not how you see, but how you feel.
Not how you let go, but how you hold on!

Ok! I found those words on my friend's blog. Thanks for the revival words! :)
Here is some of mine.

Friendship isn't how you forget, but how you forgive.
A question quickly across in my mind, have you got hurt by your friends at least once? of course my answer is yes. But, have you ever forgave them? or you just simply forgot it and that's it! finish? no.
Forgetting, it straights the conflict but it also creates a distance in friendship itself. Deep down in your heart, the pain is still there. Someday, it is possible to you to hurt them back. That's not the way. Think about yourself with Him. Is He just simply forgetting your past? No. He forgave you, either your false big or small. It completely cleared up. More than that, He loves you.
Matthew 5:14-15

Not how you listen, but how you understand.
Cause listening is the easiest thing in this world to be done, everybody just able to do that. Even a stranger you met at the road could do that even better.
Think about when you're in a difficult time. Who would be the first you called? Of course the one who could understand you the most, right? Because sometimes friendship doesn't need the words. It just simply the presence. No matter how long it takes in a silence, but surely it could be the most precious thing that time.
So, when you are in the down point of your life, seek for the presence of God first. You shall find rest into your soul. Absolutely!
Matthew 11:28-30

Not how you see, but how you feel.
Tau lagunya Sheila on 7 - Sahabat Sejati? There's a phrase there;
"Arti teman lebih dari sekedar materi"
Yeah, persahabatan ga bergantung pada mata, tapi pada hati. Persahabatan ga melihat tampang atau fisik atau harta atau otak. Persahabatan itu ditentukan rasa, pengalaman saat kamu berada dalam suka ataupun duka. Karena persahabatan ga bisa dibayar dengan uang, tapi moment. Kenapa ada temen baik? temen deket? sahabat? Karena perjalanan kita sama mereka. Sometimes we hurt by mistakes, tapi tanpa itu ga akan pernah belajar menerima. It just simply see and never feel.
Kita, apa sudah menjadi sahabat yang baik buat Tuhan? Apa pernah kita ngelakuin sesuatu dan selalu memikirkan perasaan-Nya? Kita hanya melihat kebesaran-Nya yang bener-bener nyata dalam hidup kita. Tapi kadang balasan buat Tuhan ga setimpal. We hurt Him by our treat and never try to feel the pain effect we made. Let's look back and change. Shall we?
Proverbs 18:15

Not how you let go, but how you hold on.
Friendship is about being together even in the worst of time. It wouldn't be the words "giving up" but "holding on". It's not about, "just let it go" after you lost a game but it's about "let's try again and be better". Cause friendship creates power and not loose the power. So just remember when you're facing something really tough, you have Jesus who'll be always with you, who never give up for you, who always strengthen you with His presence.
1 Timothy 6:12
