What? Give my life?

When Jesus speaks of NO MORE LOVE THAN GIVING LIFE FOR FRIENDS is it just a metaphor or is it literal? What does it mean then to give life for friends?

The friend is always a friend, that is to say that he never ceases to be, even if they do not share the same tastes, opinions, even relationships, or may even be beliefs, or distance ... true love NEVER STOPS, if you have friends value them, respect them, forgive them, nobody is perfect. In times of need the friend is more comforting because he is a brother who has decided to love you and support you without the prejudice of others.

With certain friends, no enemies are needed, but there are other friends who are worth more than a brother. Proverbs 18:24

What does this mean?

We must know how to choose friends, because there are "friends" who seek their own interest or supply their own needs, and although Jesus teaches us that we should love our neighbor as ourselves, and give our lives for our friends, it does not mean that all the friends we have want our good and love us the same. If you are like I was, who loved to give but above all to receive, it is necessary that we learn that this is not friendship, you are only looking to please and be complacent ... That is why this love that comes from JESUS ​​has only one direction , GIVE. Yes, GIVE! only that. Receiving will be an addition to your joy for having this kind of love.
