Sheila Walsh: Become the Godly Friend That You Are Looking For | Better Together on TBN

[@Hillsong_music_best_playlist]

I’m 14 and I have handed my life to Christ during quarantine. Best decision ever. Broke me from the early depression, sadness, guilt, insecurities, bad friend groups, idols, obsession, worries, stress, etc. I love my God so much. I pray for everyone to find Him.

[@aquiethomemaker]

Wow. It was almost 30 years ago when I started to really diligently walk with The LORD.. keep HIM first place and close. Never under any circumstances think HE doesn't love you. The enemy wants believers to lose hope in Him and His Word and just knowing He is our Father, and He's always there/here. The journey may get bumpy, and you won't see everything afar off or that's coming ahead, but keep your eyes and affections on JESUS CHRIST, THE ONE WHO is able to keep you from falling. God bless you and big hugs from an older sister in Christ Jesus. Shalom Shalom beloved child of God.

Beautiful testimony! May God continue to bless You Always ❤❤

[@Lovely-wy4fo]

I desire to have a Godly sisterhood. It is my prayer. It's a blessing to have.

[@4eveRFab]

I’m with you sister! I’m believing 2024 will be the year we will find Godly friendships!!

[@bintssembajja9298]

Me too. I am a lonely 30 year old who doesn't have any one i can call a friend. But this message came at the right now. I believe God wants me to pray over that area of my life. So am starting today to pray about being a good friend and also Finding Godly friends

[@RebeccaMills-vj6gr]

Same hun I'm 38 this month 23rd and I dont have any Christian friends I find it hard to make friends with some Christian women. But Godnis able to bring the right people so hoping for a change 2024 ​@@bintssembajja9298

[@akongosylvia1665]

Me too am praying over that

[@Progress75]

I pray for healthy and Godly friendships for this new year🎉😇

[@motheowalerato701]

❤❤❤

[@shirlinealtema9461]

This discussion was so good and so needed for me right now! As I get older my circle is getting smaller and smaller and I beat myself about it but I realize that God is removing certain people from my life to put the right ones I need in this season.

[@amandakate1247]

I’ve had a similar experience where I found out the first person who invited me to church and I credited a lot of my journey to salvation as a sister in Christ wasn’t a good friend to me behind my back. I had to learn to trust God revealed this to me for my good and accept where our friendship is today without reconciliation. It’s been a huge learning curve for me on forgiveness and rejection but I am so much better for allowing God to heal me. Hurt people hurt people and I pray the root of bitterness doesn’t spread in the church body. Gossip only breeds hatred and division.🙏

[@Nalasia83]

I've always had a hard time making female friends and maintaining relationships as it was not something modeled in my two parent home. Mom was always about her husband due to being raised that you don't allow other women in your home around your husband. Fast forward into my adulthood and I struggled with how those relationships were supposed to be. At the church I currently attend I remember two years in , going to the altar and praying for Godly female friends , fast forward 8 years later and I am so blown away how God has answered that simple and earnest prayer. These women God has blessed me with are the most amazing group of women that are not only friends but I can call them family.❤️

[@motheowalerato701]

❤❤❤

[@shalomi2323]

Having a great friend,is amazing,who u could cry with, laugh until you are weak😂,but we have to become our sisters keeper,and be kind.❤

[@DorothyKemunto-ol3bz]

I pray for good sisterhood dear God please guide me as a young Christian

[@kdubselassie]

Men are learning from this too thanks 💝🙋🏾‍♂️🙏

[@LaTonyaNeely-r6v]

I truly appreciate this message because I asked for God-fearing women I can inspire and they inspire me. We all have specific talents to offer each person. Thankful for my Kingdom sisters who are obedient to our Father GOD. I am truly blessed. Thank you JESUS for answering my prayers.

[@MariaRodriguez-xj7rw]

I have limited myself with letting people in, it rooted from high school where my best friend pushed me away and there was no reason as to why. Since then I haven’t let anyone in to my life, I don’t want to be a burden to those around me I don’t want people to feel sorry for me or be judged by them. Lord let it be you who take this and destroy it because that is not what you want for me. I need community and need that phone call or coming over to speak about anything and release those valves of pressure or concerns. God send me some Godly women and let me learn from them on how to be a Godly friend. Thank you.

[@motheowalerato701]

Amen ❤❤❤

[@directlydshara]

I had a shift in my life which also changed the type of friendship I need. Out of all the friends I have ever had, I am the only one who is married with children. I didn’t think it would be a struggle to remain in close friendship once my family life started. I used to feel isolated and believe I had no one to talk to. The reality is, the way I could be a friend to them is more on life wisdom. I can provide support if they ever needed it: babysitting, marriage advise and raising children. I pray that I be the glue that keeps my friends encouraged in the Lord through my actions and life.

[@bettywright4338]

So beautiful I so admire Sheila Walsh, I love her spirit and her testimony 🙏 but this was a beautiful discussion on sisterhood for it is so needed in this time in which we 💕 live

[@4eveRFab]

I would love it if Better Together did friendship conferences! Image being a hand to connect women of faith!! BETTER TOGETHER! Wink wink just make sure they have one in Oklahoma City! 😂

[@LS-cr2ek]

This is good conversation I struggle with. Pinned Dr. Dee Dee sowing into friendship but not necessary want received from that same friendship will look at it that way so i want be disappointed all the time. Shelia on point too. And the lady with the tan blazer( still trying to figure it out as well). Love these circles. They help so much. Its like wow im not alone ❤

[@schavonnawilliams484]

This blessed me so much. Thank you ladies!! I sent it to a few of my sisters in Christ. I think this topic was so necessary

[@aquiethomemaker]

Oh, the joy of seeing the good/Godliness in others and seeing that flourish enriches our own lives (ultimately, eternally) for the better.

[@2016_SavedbyJesusGrace]

Amen sisters! I am not married but I’m a bride of Christ. I seek Godly Friendships always. We have something in common, and that is Jesus Christ. The women that are sisters in the body of Christ seem to be healthier. We like to talk about the rapture, the Bible and Godly things. I love your show. Thank you for your input and insight on so many topics.

[@Godz_Girl]

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God” (Matt. 5:9). Into a world that is ugly with violence and hate, Jesus sends us as peacemakers.

[@garypeterson6849]

We are all brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, glory to the most high, may we all be blessed in the kingdom of God. ❤ ✨ 🕊

[@Elizabeth-MichelleWright-nb1si]

Speaking Honestly is a sign of true friendship (TPT). An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship (NLT). Finding or receiving that honesty is God sent and a blessing. Because honesty really takes Holy Ghost and maturity no doubt. ?I have asked myself can I really handle pure honesty? I pray that by grace I can and I could✝️🙏🏿☮️

[@jklmnoqr]

We can love HOWEVER, we must be wise. We must NOT allow narcissists or very hurtful people to bring destruction to our lives!!!! We must be observant and watch for the fruits that people produce. Read the Word of God and obey Him. Our obedience to Him will keep us from a lot of heartbreak ---not all but most. I have seen so many Christian sisters over the years who were desperate to be married that it even made them mean and competitive toward other sisters. I can't imagine that that type of woman would be a good wife,sister or mother. Instead of obsessing over being a Mrs., a godly woman should concentrate on being a content and faithful daughter instead.😊Desperation is not beautiful but a contented, calm woman is.👑💐💐💐💝

[@Calm_Centre]

Truth! Women have been conditioned to prefer and value marriage over all else. So friendships are ignored and disregarded.

[@florencegatwiri7360]

This is so true I know so many who have been through this and ended up making wrong decisions which finally hurt them

[@sarahnelson-praiseparodies7272]

I used to hold my girl friendships higher than my marriage. Now God has me as best friends with my husband, & all other relationships at a distance ❤

[@PraiseWorshipMusic]

I love her for her honesty and integrity ❤ this woman is continuously changing my life with her beautiful and inspiring messages 🙏 I thank the Lord for her, God bless you Joyce Meyer 🙏🙏❤

[@tanyaserna5967]

I struggle with jealousy, but I’m not the one feeling it I’m the one receiving it from my sister and my mother which is very painful. I pray for them and their salvation, I love them harder, and don’t blame them, but it’s still painful.

[@Trudystorys]

Its the most painful thing ever. Thank God for his comfort, healing and making us confident! thank you jesus

[@siphesihlemdhluli5447]

[@asbellazing3217]

Thank you for this sharing. I needed this. I was finding good friendships, and I think I struggled a bit. Now, here I got an answer and wisdom from this. Right time, right place. Thank you, and God bless you all.

[@laurenkim9112]

Where is her pink blazer and outfit from? She needs to share that looks amazing ❤

[@mattiewilliams1138]

I have difficulty with this; I say it is because I am an only child so I go hard and get used. Once I can’t take it any longer I leave that person instead of having a conversation but I feel why would a person use you.

[@florencegatwiri7360]

Prayer over it God will connect you with a genuine friend ❤

[@motheowalerato701]

❤❤❤❤

[@monibev21]

Wow that's good never looked at it that way it's a relationship you can sow into but not recieve back. Because I always wondered why I didn't recieve back the same treatment! Vs being taken advantage of and using wisdom. (Holy spirit).❤ And yes! I also thought that if i shared some joy or share about what God is doing period I'd be limited. Not true wow. This is so good.

[@kamrynedwards2298]

AMEN!!

[@dejaxleigh]

I’ve always struggled with the desire to have friends. I don’t feel like hanging out or talking..especially after work lol. I’m too lazy for friends.

[@jennydickson7805]

I was hoping to hear more about the role of honesty in friendship. When we see a friend slipping into falseness, do we just let go? Speaking up means that there will be anger and hurt and often a loss of friendship. Yet doesn't God call us to a place of honesty with our friends? I feel that honest words are not treasured in our churches, we hide behind masks to conceal our hurt and sin. How do we help each other to step into that place of honest words, honest emotion and speak truth?

[@connieblauw2549]

This is my hearts desire that God will send me a female friend who I can share things with besides my husband. It's so difficult to find.

[@Vivita257]

Please don't have background music when speaking! It's distracting. One reason why I listen to your messages is because unlike other American broadcasts they don't have music & the messages can be heard clearly.

[@mnisi_sindile]

The saint must walk alone by W A Tozer has made me learn to accept that we're not all made for close friendships, i have acquaintances, not even people that would plan my baby shower or bridal shower if I were to have a baby or get married 😂at some point it bothered me but now I'm at peace with my lot

[@rachelleedmond2326]

thats not even biblical. Jesus didnt walk alone. He chose 12 disciples so that we can use HIM as an example. not an author. I aam saying ths respectfully. Blessings

[@jmjames-yr4ty]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@lynnefetsko3562]

I have a friend that I was somewhat always guarded for 12 years. Recently I have hit a low considering relocating ( in a position of renting a room) found one near her in another state...I asked her to visit the home ( a Christian husband n wife) and she said no. She for her own reason said no. I offered gas money, it was only 10 miles. She does not work. I am disappointed. Please advice

[@Mmdeoliveira11]
