Super Coolio Friends:
I just love this proverb:
Reliable friends who do what they say are like cool drinks in sweltering heat – refreshing!
I’m sure you’ll agree, we all go through times when life’s journey seems so tough.
Each day could be characterized by toilsome effort to the point of exhaustion.
At times, ones emotion can grow more troubled with each diminishing day.
In fact, it feels like an age since we had a morale booster.
It’s hard to remember the time we last had some support, chilled-out with mates, had a profitable day, or just a day relaxing.
But then, along comes someone who says just the right thing at the right time.
A breath of fresh air.
A God-send.
Taking time-out to spend a moment with us, making us feel valued, and even helping us to mop-up the bits and pieces.
Imparting vitality and energy.
Supplying motivation, purpose and direction or advice as to a decision or course of action.
Taking an interest in our lives and committing to helping us along the way.
Providing incentive.
A positive influence.
Suddenly, that friend feels like that cool drink at the end of a long, hot busy day.
A real tonic.
A pick-me-up.
Reviving the spirit.
Raising one from a lower to a higher position.
Sure-enough, when the oppressive feelings of a hefty force press heavy on us, that person who shares a word of comfort, a consoling thought, or a message of encouragement straight from the heart of God is often so refreshing.
Bringing feelings of relief that come when something burdensome is removed or reduced.
A source of joy:
Giving love.
Showing grace.
Dishing out so much kindness.
So let’s not forget the words of Jesus:
“Come to me.
Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Think about it!
He does what He says.
He’s super coolio!
The King of smoothies.
Oh yes!
What a friend!
Loyal and true.
Dependable.
Always and forever.
Refreshing.
