How is my friend, Friend, doing today?

Proverbs 25:17 Don’t visit friends too often, or they will get tired of it and start hating you.

Well, over the last few months, I have respected this well. We had a little session going on Royal Living in Proverbs 25. That Proverb came from the research of King Hezekiah's men looking for wisdom with which to restore an orderly community. The last missive on this matter was in October. Since then I've been busy working with legislators across the southern United States in prayer. My apologies... Let's get back online.

With email, facebook, linkedin, twitter, slideshare, wordpress, and blogspot I communicate with thousands. Hopefully not too often. Being a bother is being a bother. There are one or two unsubscribes a week. Everyone needs to clean out their inbasket in some manner. No worry.

How do we manage well our communications? The balance of just enough and not too much and not too little certainly requires the wisdom of a good king.

There are people in my life that never communicate. They wait until I call or visit. That would not classify as a friend. In some instances it is blood family. That does not mean they are friends, just related, acquaintances.

There are people in my life that check in once a month. Others once a week. Some who are called, "friend", that never check in.

Maybe we err to the long side on not enough communication. With a shrunken community allowed via the many forms of communication, do we really have an excuse? Do we really have compassion of a friend?

Being an active friend is wisdom. It allows needful interchange at crucial moments. Most of us will only have a few true friends in our lifetime. Treasure them. Balance with them. It is a kingly stature to cultivate good friendship in considerate manner.

Prayer:

Now, Father, You are a great friend. To Moses You talked face to face and Creator to leader. How special You have become to my heart. There is never enough visitation with You. You never turn us away at the door of friendship. Speak to my friend, Friend, today. Visit. Touch the heart. Touch the mind. Touch the body. Stay as long as You wish.  You are one friend, who never can visit too often or too long.
