Everybody isn't your friend

Just because they play with, laugh with you, work with you, eat with you, spend time with you, doesn't just make them your friend. Just because they standing next to you, smile with you, appear to love you doesn't still make them your friend. People pretend well, most especially when they are to gain something in return from you or because they are in need of your favor. 

Don't believe that because you are doing well, you have friends because when you fall out of favors, you will be shocked at the amount of friends you really have, that's if anyone stays but when no one does, you are just like a man standing in the desert with no one to call for help. 

You might say because you are doing well that, and your so called friends gives you respect and kind of honors that they would do the same when you aren't doing well. Have you considered how they treat the less privileged, because it is that same treatment that is given to them (less privileged) that they give to you when things begins to crash. 

How to know your friend? 

You have to understand that real situation exposes fake people. So when they find out that you are being to go down, you are going to see whose real, whose going to stay and whose going to leave, who loves you and who hates you, who is has been truthful to you and who has been talking against you behind your back. 

Everything becomes clear, and you will be able to differentiate your foes from your friends. When you are down in life, you are going to see who is down with you, who will stay with you and encourage you to climb, who will help you recover and encourage you. 

When this happens you get to truly know you get to know whether you are truly making friends or if you are just adding people into your life. Every vision concerning your friendship becomes real. 

I need you to get this,' Everybody isn't your friend'. It is not everybody that is in your circle, that will be in your corner. People pretend well when they know you have what they want. So you have to carefully know who is your friend, who will stand by you in the midst of horror. It is not wrong if you test the trust of a friend, but do not do it in such a way that your friend get to know. 

Chose your friends wisely!
