The Voice of a Friend

I love the voices of my friends. Most of the time they are voices I enjoy hearing. They make me laugh, make me smile, make me feel good. But, sometimes those same voices make me angry. They make me question myself and challenge me to grow. That doesn't feel so good. A wise friend once told me that we need friends in our lives that piss us off because without them we don't question ourselves and we may wallow in stagnate waters. Anger moves us to action, usually. In this way anger can be productive. I've come to be thankful for those voice's of friends who stir my inner being and encourage me to continue becoming the person my Creator is transforming me into. Don't forsake those friends, if they are true friends, who get under your skin and add color to your life. They are priceless.
