LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

“There is an inexpressible treasure and comfort that comes through friends in your life who are safe. You can kick up your heels and pour out your hearts with words of truth that are exchanged without caution. Safe people are people who can help you through emotional healing and character growth. They will not abandon you when challenges come, and they love you with no agenda other than to love. Do not let go of such a friend, and they will not let go of you.”

Finding a safe friend is not easy, do you have these friends in your life?

Have you experienced the pain of friends that you thought were safe but were not?

What characteristics have you determined are the best to qualify such a friend?
