      The Best Friend in the World - Howard Books

      Introduction

      Friendship is among the most precious gifts we are given to enjoy in life. Through friendship, we gain insight into ourselves and others. A friend is a safe haven for our secrets, a source of comfort in our trials, and a wellspring of immeasurable joy. Through our friends, we’re able to experience firsthand the wonder of giving and receiving unconditional love.

      The Best Friend in the Worldcelebrates the joy of friendships everywhere, but most especially, it honors you, the unique and special friend in my own heart. I hope this book inspires, encourages, and shows my appreciation to you, my treasured friend. I’m so honored and thankful that God has placed you in my life.

      My dear friend, you’re the best!

      08

      You’re the

      Best

      Friend

      in the World Because…

      You’re Always

      There for Me.

      There are times when I

      want to share my life’s

      triumphs and tragedies

      with someone, but none

      will do except the hearing

      ear of a good friend.

      R. M. KITE

      10

      A friend loves at all times.

      PROVERBS17:17

      Friendship is, perhaps, one of the greatest marvels of God’s creation. We are not born into friendships as we are into families. We have a choice of whom we will befriend, or even whether or not we will allow friends into our lives. Yet God has wired us with an innate need for friendship, and for good reason. How much we would miss in life without this precious gift.

      We are best able to put into practice the principles of loving others through our friendships, and in these relationships, we discover the reality and meaning of unconditional love. We are able to experience in concrete form the love God has for us and the kind of relationship He desires to share with each of us.

      Treasure your friendships. Feed them with your time, energy, love, and prayers. In the end, the relationships you’ve formed with others—your friends and family—will be your greatest assets and are the only earthly commodities you can take with you into eternity.

      A Letter to My Friend

      Dear Friend,

      You’re always there for me when I need you the most. Life gets busy, and we don’t always get to talk to each other as often as we’d like. But no matter how much time passes between our conversations, we always seem to be able to pick up just where we left off. I know I can always count on you to be available with a listening ear and a caring heart. And I know I’m often in your prayers, as you are in mine.

      When I have a problem and can’t figure out what to do, you’re only a phone call away, and you never fail to have some wise words for me. When you have some exciting news, you’re quick to share it with me and let me take part in your joy. When either of us needs someone to be there to help the other with a difficult situation, no distance is too great for either of us to travel.

      Thank you for being such a faithful, constant friend to me.

      Love,

      Your Friend

      My friends have made

      the story of my life.

      In a thousand ways they

      have turned my

      limitations into beautiful

      privileges, and enabled me

      to walk serene and happy in

      the shadow cast by my

      deprivation.
