Read about It
Read: Proverbs 27:17
Who is your best friend? Best friends are pretty special. A best friend is someone you can talk to, someone who will always be there for you. You love spending time with them, learning about their interests, and sharing life with them.
Proverbs 27:17 says that friends sharpen each other. What that means is that our best friend can help us grow closer to God. Not only should our best friend do that for us, but we should do that for them too. God gives us people in our life to help us, and we need each other!
