Friends

You can win more friends with your ears than your mouth.
James 1:19-20
Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.

Keep their secrets! Don't talk about their faults.
Proverbs 16:28 (The Message)
Troublemakers start fights;
gossips break up friendships.

Proverbs 17:9
He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

Learn to be a friend if you desire to have one.
Proverbs 18:24
A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Bottom line, if you can do this, you will be a success!
Matthew 7:12 (The Message)
"Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God's Law and Prophets and this is what you get.

Don't wear out your welcome, visiting and calling all hours of the day and night!
Proverbs 25:17 (NLT)
Don’t visit your neighbors too often,
or you will wear out your welcome.

Be there for them, for better or worse.
Proverbs 14:10 (The Message)
The person who shuns the bitter moments of friends
will be an outsider at their celebrations.

Proverbs 17:17 (The Message)
One Who Knows Much Says Little
Friends love through all kinds of weather,
and families stick together in all kinds of trouble.

Proverbs 25:11 (CEV)
The right word
at the right time
is like precious gold
set in silver.

Please be patient and loving....don't have the answer for everything.....
Jobs friends blamed all of his troubles on hidden sin that they thought he must have had....but in the end there wasn't any sin! Please don't give answers without knowing whats really going on....if you don't know then simply say so!
