In our desperation to fill the emptiness inside us we can fall into the hole of subconsciously devaluing people who are unable to meet our criteria for the perfect friend. It would be a tragic loss for us and for our victims if, for example, we become so focused on finding a marriage partner that we dismiss from our attention those who have no chance of meeting that need. If you treasure people as God treasures them, youll not only lift them, it will rebound to you, adding fulfillment to your own life. We reap what we sow. So seek to give to others what you would like someone special to give to you. It is in giving that you receive. A friend told me: Years ago I read about a young seminary graduate who had been praying for God to give him a church. Eventually the Lord said, Dont ever pray that prayer again! He was shocked, and replied, So, what should I be praying for? The answer was, Pray that I give you to the church of my choice. I applied that change of orientation to my situation, and started praying that God would give me as a friend to whoever needs a friend. Thirty years later, I can say that I have never lacked for a friend.
