Journey through the jungle?

Imagine you are embarking on a long journey in the Amazon, and you just hop off the truck to enter the steamy jungle. As you push through the dense brush, you feel a rush of excitement when you see a toucan squawking in the canopy above. Two days in, and you begin to lose the excitement you first experienced when you started the journey. You are cold, hungry, and alone, so you begin to have doubts on the thought of continuing this journey. You double back to your reasoning behind going on this trip... and no reason is found. The chances of you completing this journey are next to none, because you have no purpose. Now imagine an old friend appears right in front of you, with fresh supplies and a positive mind. He says to you, "Get up buddy, it's time to keep movin' on". So you get up, spirit restored, and you head off in to the jungle. Real friends will always give you a reason to keep going, no matter what. C.S. Lewis said it perfectly when he said, "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.". This is all reminiscent of the greatest friend to man, Jesus Christ. His love for us is the best example of a great friend, and when humans strive to replicate his love, purpose is derived by the life long bonds created by love. After all this talk about friends, it makes me think of the song "You've got a Friend in Me" by Randy Newman. You know, the nostalgic song from Toy Story.
