Read Proverbs 27:19

Read Proverbs 27:19  Our verse for today is a lot like our verse from yesterday.  Both talk about good friends and both talk about being honest with our good friends.  If you care about your friend, that is what our verse means about heart to heart.  Heart to heart means that we care deeply about our friend.  Back in Bible times they didn't have good mirrors like we do today.  When someone wanted to see their face, they went down to a still pond of water and looked into the water.  If a handsome prince looked into the water, did he see an ugly face?  If a pretty girl looked into the water, did she see a horse?  Of course not!  Just like the pool of water shows us exactly what our face is like, so we should be honest with our friend.  Like our verse from yesterday, we need to tell our friend what they need to hear, not necessarily what they want to hear.  We have to be honest.  We have to be a real friend.!
