Quien pasa por alto la ofensa, crea lazos de amor; quien insiste en ella, aleja al amigo. Proverbios 17:9 (DHH) Nadie es perfecto. Incluso en las relaciones más cercanas y con las mejores intenciones, las personas se lastiman mutuamente. Para mantener amistades cercanas, es vital entender lo que separa a los amigos. Aquí hay dos cosas que pueden interponerse entre amigos: 1. Ofensa. Si un amigo hace algo para lastimarlo y usted sigue mencionando el hecho verbal o mentalmente, usted tendrá dificultades para perdonar y su amistad se perderá. El perdón no es un sentimiento; es una elección. Hable con su amigo y luego absténgase de repetir el incidente. Con el tiempo, la herida en los sentimientos disminuirá y usted podrá darle la oportunidad de ganarse su confianza nuevamente. 2. …
What Separates You?
He who covers a transgression seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates friends. Proverbs 17:9 (NKJV) No one is perfect. Even in the closest relationships and with the best intentions, people hurt each other. To maintain close friendships, it’s vital to understand what separates friends.

Surprising Secret To Health
Laugh with your happy friends when they’re happy; share tears when they’re down. Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don’t be the great somebody. Romans 12:14–16 (MSG) A surprising scientific review by the Brigham Young University team discovered a secret to health.

Characteristics Of Great Friends
He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV) We need friends of all types—people we know casually and those we trust infinitely. Some friends are close, lifelong confidants. With others, you maintain the relationship because of a common interest like golf or a shared commitment like work or school.

Friendships bring great joy in life; however, we need to choose our friends wisely. Although none are perfect, there are a few specific characteristics to look for when …
