A smart person is known by the good questions he or she asks. When Jesus was 12 years old, He was found in the temple asking questions of the teachers of the law.

Here are 5 questions that good friends should ask each other:

1. How can I be a better friend to you?
   
2. Are there any traits, attitudes, or actions you see in my life that hinder my success?
   
3. What gifts and characteristics do you recognize as strengths in my life?
   
4. How can I pray for you at this time in your life?
   
5. What has God shown you in His Word lately?
