God's Chosen People

Who do we call when we need a listener to our problems? To who do we revealed our secrets? And when we need a shoulder to cry on, whose shoulder is it? And who do we want to be with? Yes, these questions are too much but do you think the answer of all these questions are the same with the number of the questions? If your answer is a big no, then, you are right. The answer of all these questions is just a one word and it is a person and that person is no other than your/our friends, an important people in our life. It is definitely true that friends our one of the most important people in our lives because they play an important role in our lives and they have a great impact in our lives. Sometimes, we rather choose to be with our friends than our sisters, brothers or parents, do you agree with me? But I am so curious what these friends have that makes us wanted to be with them? As what I always heard, friends are the people who are in our side at anytime in anywhere. We feel more comfortable with them than any other people, we are comfortable to share our secrets any matter that we want to say. Why is that so? Probably because we thought that our secrets will be safe at them but I do not think so because I always heard people who are fighting to their friend/friends because of revealing his/her secret/secrets by whom he/she thought a real friend/friends. Another role of friends, they are one of the people you ask on to solve your problems. Yes, I agree with that. If have a problem, they are just waiting or probably they will approach you to ask what is your problem/problems and disappointments in, your life. Probably you are thinking now of yourself if only friends are just can be a good listener and solver of your problems? You are right that we can also approach our parents, sisters, brothers or even relatives and neighbors but people will rather choose to go to their friends maybe because friends are the people who is with us always especially in our school. Friends are also the people we look for if we need a shoulder to lean on. Actually, friends are the God's chosen people to be with us, to spend our lives in the times of happiness, loneliness and failures. Friends are God's chosen people to be with us at all times because God knows that these people will help you if you need and they will teach you things that can pleased God.


Do you believe in the saying, “Do not trust your friend too much;
Do not hate your enemy too much;
Your friend will most likely become your enemy
And your enemy will probably become your friend. "
If you are going to ask me, my answer will be a big yes. This situation is no longer new with me. I had once experienced this situation similar to that said saying. Years back, I had this friend let us hide his name as Migs. Migs is a good friend of mine. We always go out to have fun. If one of us has a problem, we just easily approach one of us. And then one day, our teacher reprimand the class to have a report and it was a group report. Migs and I were group mates. If I am not mistaken, the deadline of the group report was two weeks after. Then we start doing our report. I noticed that some of my members were not helping and one of them was Migs. As days goes by, the people who did not help before were still not helping even if the report is tomorrow morning and I see that Migs was not helping. Then the time came for our group reporting, unfortunately, our teacher was not happy with our report, our teacher was not satisfied with our report. Our teacher was so angry with our group especially with me, because I am the group leader. Our teacher asked Migs why we had a bad report. Migs replied that it was my fault, that I did not do my part as the group leader. When I heard all those words uttered by my friend, I was really shock and I cannot explain my feeling. I cannot believe that my friend did put me to shame. After that, I went to a side and cried there, one of my enemies in our school approached me and believe it or not, he encouraged me to be strong. I was so touch by that. And that time, that person was my new friend who was always in my side.
