Be friendly

The wise man Solomon wrote, “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly.” (Prov. 18:24) 

If you think someone is unfriendly to you, then you need to become more friendly. Maybe the person that you think is unfriendly is just shy. Maybe they are waiting for you to speak first. Maybe they are thinking about other things. Maybe they have troubles and burdens that are bothering them. 

If you want others to be your friend and be friendly to you, you must be generous, loving and giving to them. Those who see all others as unfriendly are unwilling to give what it takes to receive friendliness. Receivers of friendliness are givers of warm smiles, hearty handshakes and kind encouraging words. 

Don’t wait for the other person to approach and talk to you. Walk up and talk to them.   

Smile and be friendly. You will be amazed how friendly people, who you thought were unfriendly can be!
