Proverbs 18:24 AMP
The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, but there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.

What kind of friends do you have? What kind of friend are you?
Friendship, like every other relationship, is a two-way cord that shouldn’t be easily broken if based on genuine affections, trust, and common goals according to Amos 3:3.
Friends look out for, counsel, support, encourage and defend one another they should rub off on each other as stated in Proverbs 27:17.
Do you trust your friends, and do they trust you? Luke 6:31 is the “golden rule” of relationships.
Friendship needs to be nurtured to grow and flourish. If the giving is one-sided, the friendship will unfortunately not last. People come together for several reasons and some, the breakdown comes when they realise that the friendship is either superfluous, superficial, or toxic, see 2 Corinthians 6:14.
Are you satisfied with it your friends? Are your friends able to support and offer wise and insightful counsel? Or do your friends deliberately mislead you, as seen in Proverbs 25:19?
Proverbs contain many helpful words of advice about choosing friends and how to benefit from the people who walk the same path says Ecclesiastics 4:9-12. You’re right if you’ve been thinking you need some wise friends, ones who can guide you along the right way, then see how in Proverbs 11:13. You don’t need a blubber mouth for a friend, one who can’t keep their mouths shut.
When seeking friends, most people look for those who make them feel good about themselves. But that’s not the most important ingredient in friendship. People who make us feel good about ourselves may not be the best influence on us, and they may not have our best interests at heart.
Some friends determine the direction that our lives take. If our friends are wise or foolish, we will be too according to Proverbs 13:20 because we can only teach or learn what each knows.
We need to choose our friends very carefully. We should seek out friends who can advise us, set an example for us, and help us stay on the right track.
Some friendships have spanned decades and still going strong. My longest friendship is over 38 years, we try to catch up occasionally to encourage each other according to 1 Thessalonians 5:11.
How about you? Have you got a friend who has stood the test of time, distance, adversity, and time? If not, don’t worry!
There’s just one who will willingly and happily call you a friend even when you don’t want to be a friend. Jesus! The Friend of sinners. The one who will not repeat your secrets to another, who will not judge you, He will not compete or strive with you, what’s more, He already died for you, He desperately seeks to be your friend and is waiting for you to accept Him so He can shower you with love, affection, and blessings. Are you in need of such a friend? Look no further than Jesus, extending the privilege of friendship to all obedient believers in John 15:13.
Seek out friends who are not afraid to tell you the truth, who will move you in God’s direction and loves you for you according to Proverbs 17:17.
Seek friends who will nurture you.
Shalom
