After reading another blog about making lists and using those lists to look for qualites in other people I decided to come up with one.  I really thought about this all week.  Never thought of making a list of qualities I look for in a friend.  So here goes...

Qualities I look for in a friend:

1.  Believer in Christ

2.  Keeps their word

3.  Loyal.

4.  Continually looks for ways to enhance and improve their relationship with God

5.  Someone I can be real with.  I hate when I'm around people and don't feel accepted enough to be me.

6.  Will firmly, but gently tell me when they see things out of balance in my life or areas that need some attention.

7.  Honest.  I can't stand when people lie or fluff stuff up.  Keep it real.

8.   Someone who loves their family

9.   A giver and receiver. 

10.  Someone who can admit when their wrong.

I would say those are the  top 10 attributes I look for.  I find in my life I have different levels of friendships.  I have some people I have been friends with for what seems like forever who I can't really share the matters of my heart with and others who I've known a shorter time and I feel like I can share anything with.   I've heard it said that only a few are allowed to enter the holy of holies of your heart.  Others are in your heart, but in the outer courts.
