Years ago, at least 10, I read a devotional, which I can no longer cite.
But....amazingly enough, anam cara, "a wordsmith" term has stuck with me.
Anam caara. Celtic term for soul friend.
Much more than "bestie" or BFF.
A soul friend for Christians is one, who understands the teachings of Christ and "listens" with her heart! So GRATEFUL for soul friends who walk beside us and help us discern God's path......
----which is always the right path!
When needed, a soul friend, can give needed spiritual advice filled with encouragement and truth, especially at crucial points in life. Often a soul friend has gone through the same suffering or confusion and is able to share personally. A true soul friend is one we can speak openly and honestly with as she helps us to follow God more faithfully.
A soul friend can be trusted because a soul friend trusts in God.
Soul friends can love each other with heart and soul. (1 Samuel 18:3)
