True Friendship

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17 Has it ever seemed as though the world was crashing down around you? And as a result, have you ever gotten frustrated, cranky, and a little difficult for others to be around you? During times like these, we often find out who are true friends are – those who stick by us during times of adversity, even though we might not be the most pleasant person to hang with. All significant relationships are tested by disputes and difficulties. It’s easy to walk away when friends no longer give as much as they take. But a true friend moves toward someone who is hurting. He or she provides stability when life is out of control and a listening ear when no one else wants to understand. This may surprise you, but a true does NOT jump in to fix problems. He or she offers advice sparingly, unless the assistance is asked for. We all want friends like this. To have a friend who cares about us during difficult times, we need to be this kind of friend.
