"Wounds from a friend are better than kisses from an enemy!" (Prov 27:7 TLB) Friends, because they are close to us, will sometimes wound us. In turn, as a friend to our friends, we more than likely have wounded them as well. Therefore, forgive them quickly remembering why they are called our friends. Enemies on the other hand, through their deceptive actions, attempt to get close enough to us to wound us. Therefore, know them by their actions and keep them properly positioned so they can do minimal or no harm.
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for true friends. Although, they may wound us and we them, help us to forgive quickly and remember why we are friends. Train our eyes to recognize our enemies and to keep them properly positioned so that they can do no harm!
Prov 18:24. . . .There are "friends" who pretend to be friends, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. TLB
