Friend or foe

This has always been a question in my mind. I'm not sure if I am over thinking or does anyone thinks about this as much as I do. I think I review this all the time especially with all the recent happenings. But still I guess some things never change and some things do change over time.

There's a saying in the Chinese, that "friends keep you close, but enemies keep you closer".
Have you ever felt like you are not sure whether someone is a friend or a foe?

Of course this don't happen to me all the time but a few times/person I guess. Friends who are so close but yet they give you a vibe that is strange, sending a shiver down your spine and leave you wondering... I always believe in giving people a 2nd chance or the benefit of doubt, believing that over time things will change!

There are friendships that I will say that I am willing to protect with my life, because I believe that friendship has got eternal value. But I guess if Jesus had judas and He still loved him till the cross, I need to accept the fact that there will always be people who are close to you for a different motive and may even deliver you to the cross. 

It takes more than just love to lay down your life for those who persecute you and sent you to the cross. It takes the perfect love of God, agape.
