True Friendship

I recently read a talk by Elder Richard G. Scott and one part of the talk really jumped out at me. He said:

"Be surrounded by true friends who accept you the way you are and leave you better because of their association."

I like that a lot. I don't want to say much, but I do hope it gives you something to think about. Christ was the ultimate friend. He accepts each of us no matter what we've done, said, or thought. If we are willing to bring Him into our lives, then He will always make us better because we associate ourselves with Him. He will never leave us! That is such a comforting promise.
On our journey here on earth, we will probably have friends that come and go throughout our lives. I've found those that are "true friends" will always stand by us, accepting and willing to love no matter what and who will always leave us better because we have known them! I'm grateful to all you who are true friends, but most especially my friend and Savior, Jesus Christ.
