😊True Friendship Summary Nights 1-5

🌈From God as Source to Healthy Accountability

✝In the first half of the True Friendship series, we laid the foundation for what healthy, God-centered friendship truly requires.

✝We began by establishing that God must be our source. When God is not primary, we unconsciously ask people to meet needs they were never designed to carry. Friendship becomes heavy when it is rooted in lack instead of wholeness.

💛From there, we learned that wholeness changes how we forgive. When our identity is secure in God, we stop keeping emotional score. We no longer cling to offenses out of fear of abandonment. Grace becomes possible because love is no longer desperate.

⚓That inner healing leads to faithfulness. True friends are consistent—not because they are perfect, but because they are anchored. Faithfulness flows from alignment, not convenience.

😊Next, we explored influence. Healthy friendships refresh the soul and reinforce God’s voice rather than replacing it. The right connections sharpen clarity, peace, and purpose.

🎁Finally, we learned that accountability is a gift, not a threat. When God is the foundation, correction does not wound—it strengthens. Growth becomes possible when truth is given and received in love.

💖Together, Nights 1–5 taught us that true friendship is built step by step:

God as source → Wholeness → Grace → Faithfulness → Healthy Accountability
