Good Friend vs Close Friend

I thought of this blog a while back, and i debated with myself, whether or not i should pen it down on my blog... i actually decided not to write it, but i changed my mind yesterday.. hehe

Good Friend, are they the same as close friend? not quite actually...

what makes a good friend? someone who is there for you when u need them most.. when u are down and need help, there they will be to help you.

what makes a close friend then? someone whom you always do things together, be it shopping or watching movies... they might not neccessary be good, but they are close..

now u see the differences between a good friend and a close friend? of course, the best type would be a good close friend or a close good friend.. but not everything in this world comes in the best form right?

so which would you prefer of the 2? would you want to be a close friend or a good friend?

for me, i think i am just a good friend to many... i am there, at a distant.. seeked only when needed for help.. good thing?? erm.. yes and no

yes because it is absurd if u can be close to everybody.. we just don't have the time and energy to be close to everybody.. so it is good that i am a good friend to many..

no because some of the people i consider significant doesn't treat me as i treat them i suppose. i want to be close, but there is a big gap in between, which needs the effort of two person to close the gap and cannot be closed with a person's effort.

maybe that's how God's relationship is with us.. more often than not, most of us only find Him when we need him for something.. when we want some help, we find Him and pray so ever whole heartedly.. there He is, at a distance, always waiting for us to get close to Him..

and as i had said earlier, He can't get close to us, if we don't 1 it.. it needs 2 parties effort to get close..so He stays there, always waiting and waiting for us to get closer to Him..

that's not good ya.. we need to thank Him for good days and pray for guidance in bad days.. and not just find Him only when we need Him..

that's how i feel sometimes when people whom i consider significant only finds me when they need help.. when they are ok, they don't really talk to you anymore...

hurmm... but that's part and parcel of life i suppose.. got to live with it..

God Bless
