Friendship

I received this quote in an email from a friend and thought I would pass it on:

from Jesus to Katya: "A friend is one who inconveniences himself, who deprives himself of something or of many things to offer them to you. A friend is one who will give up his time of rest for you. A friend is he who can in a moment give up the comfort of his home so as to make you feel comfortable, loved and appreciated. A friend is he who leaves his land to help you save yours. A friend is he who confides his sorrow and his joys, who is always transparent with you and who always takes you toward growth in faith and love of God. A friend is he who builds, who unites, who gathers, not one who tears apart, who destroys, knocks down, so he can sit on top of the rubble. A friend is he who gives his life to save you...as I did."
