“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.”Proverbs 17:17 HCSB
Finding and keeping good friends is important, brothers will always be brothers. Some brothers can betray us. Jesus told his disciples this would happen. David had sons who fought, one had sex with his sister and betrayed her trust. I had a friend whose family turned against her when she left the Seven Day Adventist movement. Some brothers may show their true colours when we desperately need them, meaning they step up.
We choose friends, we choose to be faithful to them or unfaithful to them. If we have good friends we should protect and keep them when others criticise them. Choosing good friends is imperative. Good friends are they who do not attempt to lead us astray.
I watched my grandchildren with their friends. These friends are church friends who are committed to following the Lord. They were flourishing with their friends. May it always be so.
Last night I had good friends collect me from the bus I travelled on and take me out to dinner. It was lovely to have them bless me. We talked about my time in Nepal. They said they support and pray for me.
Not all friends can be easy at all times. However, they challenge us to remain faithful to Christ and loving in our behaviour.
Lord thank You for family and friends!
