BIBLE VERSES ABOUT FRIENDSHIP
Friendship is a gift from God, a beautiful reflection of His love for you. True friends always encourage, uplift, and walk alongside you in both joy and hardship. Just as Jonathan stood by David (1 Samuel 18:3) and Jesus called His disciples friends (John 15:15), we are reminded that godly friendships are built on love, trust, and faithfulness.
