TWO THINGS YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO CHASE, “TRUE FRIENDS AND TRUE LOVE”
- May 11
- 2 min read

In a world that often makes you feel like you have to earn love and prove your worth, this truth brings peace: real friendship and true love don’t have to be chased, they stay.
Godly relationships are not built on performance, pressure, or pretending. They are rooted in loyalty, truth, and love. The kind that reflects the heart of God. A true friend will walk with you through the highs and the lows. True love will not make you question your value. They are drawn to your soul, not your status.
Jesus is the greatest example of both. He never made us chase Him. He came to us. He loved us first, fully, freely, and faithfully. And when He connects you to people who reflect His love, those friendships and relationships will carry that same spirit.
You won’t have to beg them to stay, explain your worth, or chase their approval. Real love recognizes you. Real friendship shows up and stays.
So, stop running after what God never meant for you to chase. What is true will stand. What is from Him will remain.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: If it’s from God, it won’t run from you. Trust Him to send the people who are meant to walk with you. No chasing required.
“A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 (KJV)
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that I don’t have to chase what’s real. Help me to release the need to prove myself to people You never assigned to my life. Send relationships that reflect Your heart; faithful, honest, and anchored in love. Teach me to be the kind of friend and person who also gives that kind of love. In Jesus’ name.
Amen and To God Be The Glory!
With love, faith, and fervent prayers,
Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain
