Share Your Feelings

Jesus further endeared himself to others by revealing his deepest feelings. At times he let it be known that he "felt pity," "felt love," or was "deeply grieved." On at least one occasion he even "gave way to tears." Jesus was not embarrassed to lay bare his heart to those whom he trusted.
Do Not Expect Perfection
Even when a friendship is off to a good start, don't expect perfection. "We all make mistakes in all kinds of ways, but the man who can claim that he never says the wrong thing can consider himself perfect." Furthermore, friendship costs-time and emotion."You have to be willing to give," says a young man named Presley. "That's a large part of friendship. You have your own feelings about things but you're willing to give in to make room for your friend's feelings and opinions."
The cost of friendship, however, is nothing compared to the cost of not loving-a life of empty loneliness. So make friends for yourself. Give of yourself. Listen to and show a genuine interest in others. Like Jesus, you may then have numerous ones to whom you can say, "You are my friends."
