“Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy” (Proverbs 27:6 NKJV)

Are your friendships based on flattery or fidelity? Are your ears open to correction? A true friend will tell you the truth about you because they seek the best for you. But an enemy may flatter you to your face, while tearing you down to others behind your back. Ask God for wisdom to know the difference.
