You Can Count Your True Family And Friends On One Hand

James 1:2-3 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of any kind. You know that the testing of your faith develops character, and character develops perseverance.

If you are a Christian and eagerly await the return of the Lord, you know that we are now in the last days.

Ok Friends….I don’t want to be redundant…but the Book of Sirach, from my Catholic Bible, says all.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP
Book of Sirach Chapter 6
5 Pleasant speech multiplies friends, and graciouslips, friendly greetings……
I’m 70 years old and I’ve never seen or heard such evil as I have the last 2 years, from the LEFT LOSERS! I took a few so-called friends off my FB. Some were ranting at me, to the point that I had family members and other close friends, calling me to suggest that I delete them. I DID…AND NOW I’M SO HAPPY. God agrees that it’s ok to cut people lose who bring you down. I pull my own strings and choose to whom I listen. 6-8 Let those who are friendly to you be many, but one in a thousand a confidant. When you gain friends, gain them through testing, and do not be quick to trust them. They are friends when it suits them, but they will not be around in time of
trouble.

….Oh! I’ve learned a lot of hard lessons with friends over the years. I had to cut a friend completely loose. This was due to the fact that our lives were going in different directions. If a so-called friend does not allow you to grow in the Spirit, get rid of them.

9 Another is a friend who turns into an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your disgrace. Been there done that… and in this case, it was
some family members. I walked away from that, as well. Remember, you
can remain kind to those people, but you don’t have to have a relationship with them.

10-13 Others are friends, table companions, but they cannot be found in times of affliction. When things go well, they are your other self, and lord it over your servants. If disaster comes upon you, they turn against you and hide themselves. Stay away from your enemies, and be on guard with your
friends.

….. This one is difficult… There are some family and friends that I can totally trust. There are some, that I now have to watch every word, which
I say in front of them.

14 -17 Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one, finds a treasure. No amount can balance their worth. Faithful friends are beyond price. Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; those who fear God will find them. Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship, for as they are,
so will their neighbors be.

…. I am blessed to have Godly friends, because I have chosen wisely. Sometimes we disagree politically. However, God allows us to place those issues at His feet, and allow Him to take care of it.

Within my girlfriend group, one of our members lost her son, due to a freak accident. We carried her heart and soul for a few months. Two of us are the closest to her. We continue to give daily support if necessary.

In Chapter seven: Conduct toward God and neighbor..I’m just going to hit the highlites. The following points speak volumes to the lies of the media, and the liberal left, that seek power and want to destroy our nation.
*Do no evil, and evil will not overtake you.
*Do not sow in the furrows of injustice, lest you harvest it sevenfold.
*Do not seek from God authority.
*Do not parade your righteousness before the Lord.
If you watch the program The View, it’ll make you nauscious.
*Do not seek to become a judge.
WHAT THE DEEP STATE HAS TRIED TO DO TO OUR PRESIDENT
is sinful.
*Do not be guilty of any evil before the city court.
Under Obama the Black Lives Matter began and total respect
for law enforcement was severed.
*Do not ridicule the embittered.
This is not ridicule. I’m stating Biblical facts.
*Do not plot mischief against your friend, relative or companion.
*Refuse to tell lie after lie.
POLITICAL LEFT FOR THEIR OWN GAIN. Can you imagine this country
with open borders? The Left is INSANE. Bill Diblasio, Gov. of NY said,
”You bet I’ll tax 70 Cents on every dollar, especially the rich.”
*Do not hate hard work.
Place all illegals on welfare and allow us to pay for them.
*Do not babble in the assembly.
*Do not esteem yourself more than your compatriots.
*Humble yourselves.

HEAVENLY FATHER: I pray for my friends especially, who vote for the LEFT. Open their eyes to the truth. I ask, how can any true Christian vote for the left and the Genocide Abortion? Change their hearts, O Lord. Amen.
