What Kind of Friend

Recently, I have been questioning myself about what kind of friend I want to be to others. Sometimes, I think I am the friend that everyone goes too because I sympathize, empathize, and support them, even if they are the one in the wrong. One of my main reasons for doing this is because I do not like to face conflict. I have this fear that if I tell my friend the truth, they will not want to talk to me again or not think of me as a good friend. But, am I being a good friend when I am simply encouraging them to continue in a negative behavior? It really isn't helping them when they continuously are getting hurt or setting themselves up for something that is not good for them. Nothing really has happened recently that has prompted this, but I have noticed close friends of mine telling me the hard things, and I have not really liked it. Well, at first I didn't like it, but the truth is, I am learning and growing from what they are telling me. It is causing me to reflect on what kind of friend that I am. Am I friend that has Christ at the center? Am I a friend that stretches the other person and allows for them to see areas that they need to grow in? We are a body, and we need to support one another as such. When someone can't see one thing, we can encourage them by showing them the way. Instead of being the passive friend, I am going to choose to be a better friend to all.
