Here are the 5 Cans<\/em> of a truly courageous friendship:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A courageous friend can be bothered.<\/strong> You know what I mean.\u00a0 They can go out of their way when you need them.\u00a0 They can be there.\u00a0 Not only can they go out of their way when you need them, they can rearrange their schedule.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. A courageous friend can be there.<\/strong>\u00a0 It’s one thing to be bothered.\u00a0 It’s another thing to get in your car and come to wherever your friend needs you to be.\u00a0 Email, text, these are all great gifts.\u00a0 But sometimes you need to be there, eyeball-to-eyeball, to truly be a friend.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. A courageous friend can be inconvenienced.<\/strong>\u00a0 By that I mean they understand that friendship is going to cost you something.\u00a0 They are willing to rearrange their schedule to meet your needs.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A courageous friend can be honest.<\/strong>\u00a0 We’re told in the Scriptures to speak the truth in love.\u00a0 That’s a hard thing to do.\u00a0 It’s a balance between honesty and compassion.\u00a0 But a true friend is willing to walk that tightrope, to be honest in a way that he can receive it and benefit from it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. A courageous friend can be counted on.<\/strong> Proverbs 17 says, “a friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity.” It’s easy to promise friendship.\u00a0 It’s another thing to be counted on when the chips are down.\u00a0 <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
