Proverbs 17:9
He who covers over an offense promotes love,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
- Proverbs 17:9
well, it's quite an interesting verse, come to think of it... just read it a few days back, and now, i come across it again as the verse of the day from biblegateway.com
it's very ironic that this statement is so true... went to do some research on this verse, and here are some interesting facts i came across...
A commentary says:
The way to preserve peace is to make the best of every thing; not to notice what has been said or done against ourselves.
This commentary got me thinking when it ended with the word "ourselves". I don't know how to explain it here, but yah, kinda struck me...
anyways, just an interesting verse that got me thinking loads, so decided to put it up here... haha... chao!!

friends
adapted from a good friend's space...
What The Bible Says About Friendship
Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, & a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 18:24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 27:6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10,12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!.. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them
& a friend will not say never, cos the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands I know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
Friends, Michael W. Smith
