I've been sitting here for some time thinking about how much my friends mean to me. And in the hopes of finding a scripture that related most to my friendships, I couldn't find one...because there are too many! I love the bible, it's the dictionary to life. Here are 10 encouraging Bible verses about friendship and how to relate them to your life:

#4 Good Friends will make you a stronger Christian
Proverbs 27:17 NIV
