Keith Craft: A true friend will only get in your way if you are going the wrong direction.
A true friend will only get in your way if you are going the wrong direction.
The thought behind the quote
True friendship isn't about always making each other feel good or simply telling each other what we want to hear. A true friend speaks up when they see you straying off course. Proverbs 27:6 tells us, "Faithful are the wounds of a friend," which means that the honesty of a friend, even when it hurts, is an act of love. It might hurt in the moment, but their intention is to help you grow, change, and avoid harm.
