The sage said that human wealth is measured by the amount of friends. But how can he say this, hence so much wisdom? Indeed that wise should know true wisdom, for human wealth is not measured by the amount of friends than useless many friends and not be happy? Having a superficial happiness? The richness of the human being is not measured by friendships, but by the virtues, character and personality that she should possess the wealth of the human being is linked to the number of friends, but by her intelligence and will. Having lots of friends means nothing in potential, have many friends only increases the emotional ego, only the man away from his ideals frustrate those who expect something from her hands. Many friends, are not sufficient to show God that you are rich, but it can only show that you care about yourself. This should stop a little wiser, and reflect on what he said, because a friend is not measured by quantity but by quality of each, many friends end up influencing the actions that lead to paths of loneliness, to the ways we cauterized mind without being aware that evil, cause people to our surroundings.
Jesus was and is the great sage, if that wise there who said these things is to look at the life of Jesus, he will call the poor, but Jesus is the master of the world the creator of all things and, when here on earth, he many who had followed him. But according to scripture, friends even Jesus was only 12, and then one of them, I have yet to betray your trust no later than holding on to both remotion, came to hang himself after Jesus chose another to fill that space.
Many friends only cause the person's ego fills and drown the other, makes a person seek independence stepping, the other does not see what she does best that God has given to her, so this saying could be true? Never! A man's wealth is not measured by the numbers of friends, but by the blood of Jesus, by the character and the certainty that the greatest wealth awaits us in heaven after our duty done here on earth.
Solomon was the wisest man on earth at that time, he had many friends he had many people who admired him, and he had great riches, those riches were given by God promised him that when he asked God for wisdom govern his people.
Napoleon Bonaparte had many supposed friends and at the height of his career conquered many lands and in the end ended up exiled on an island where he died without anyone with him. where was your wealth and your friends? In difficult times they run away from you, they promise things give you advice when you need them in times of distress, they move away to not defile himself, might even see the first aid, but behind him you have to follow it as if your tutor.
German dictator Adolf Hitler, had many friends, but no one could save him when it came to his fall, and his wealth can save him too? No! All his followers abandoned him, were the supposed friends.
Jesus had 12 friends and crowds that followed him, and at his death all those who followed the condemned, but even so he shed his blood to save his accusers. The Wealth of Jesus was not, and never will be measured by the amount of friends you would have said so Himself: Make lots of friends, so you will be very rich! No! Jesus said to his friends go to all nations and preach the gospel without discrimination. Jesus is the owner of wealth, and those who follow his word love, be willing to accept his commandments, you will see that the greatest wealth is not having many friends, and rather have Jesus in your heart and loving and praying for your enemies .
Jesus himself said that we would be hated by the world because of its name, so how can you have many friends? You can have prayer partners, being brother and love him, because who does not love does not have the Heavenly Father who loved everyone.
And now, can you measure their wealth by the amount of friends? You think you have many friends you add something good in your life? It is now meditating, because it will add to your life is just a waste, because where there are many so-called friends, there will be much envy and hatred hidden, and you can be a victim and / or being a victim of these alleged friends. Be a friend of Jesus, that He has added a lot to you. Do not be afraid, because the old skin, if we look at it we will unable to remove it, but you must take it because it is what makes us lose consciousness and drown those who are on our side.
So, see how much unhappiness caused by looking at the lives of supposed friends, and try to be like them, the same sadness you feel, they also feel when they lean their pillows and cry for being in solitude. Best friend is Jesus and his greatest asset is his family, the rest is a complement that God will give you when you walk in His will. Watch the supposed friends can, your life miserable ending the dreams of God in his life and purpose with your family, get carried away by such a thing you will suffer for not walking in the center of God's will.
Do not kill the dreams of God in your life, do not interrupt the plans he has for you and your family is your greatest wealth!
