Notes from Charles Stanley on people we want to be friends with.
“A good person to have a relationship with will do and be certain things:
–encourage us
–motivate us
–energize us
–defend us
–love us
–have the courage to stand by us in time of trouble
–accept us just the way we are –be patient with us
–serve us when we need help
–forgive us when we make mistakes
–trust God and obey His Will REMEMBER, YOU MUST BE THESE THINGS TO THEM ALSO.”
You are allowed to and you should have standards.
