Are all friends true and loyal?

There are people in  your life that call you a friend.  But are they really a true friend?  I think of the story of Judas and how he betrayed the Lord Jesus.  Judas was the bookkeeper and treasurer of the Lord Jesus ministry.  They must have worked very closely over the three and a half year earthly ministry of Jesus.  But Judas was carrying within himself a personal agenda or ulterior motives.  However, that didn't stop Jesus from demonstrating his love for Judas.  But Judas pre-planned and executed the plan that brought about the arrest and execution of Jesus.  When someone betrays you, remember that either the person was not who you thought they were in the first place; or you were getting the signals from the person but chose to ignore them to keep the relationship in place.  When our Heavenly Father gives us wisdom, we become wise when we act on it.  If we will, it will preserve us from harmful relationships.  (Mark 14:44)
