Friends

I am reading Job right now and this time when I was reading it a came upon something that I had never noticed before. Job goes through more than I can even begin to imagine. As he has been hit with all of this at once three of his friends get word of all of the troubles that has been placed upon him. When hearing about all of this the three friends decided to set off and go and comfort and sympathize with him. Once getting to where Job was they saw him from a distance and could hardly recognize him. They began to weep and tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads. Then they sat on the ground with him for 7 days and nights. No one had to say anything to him because they saw how great his suffering was.

Job 2:11-13

The extent that a friend would go to to be there for you..............
Having the type of friends who are just there and do not have to say anything.................them just being there and their existence brings comfort.

Go out and be that friend..................
