A True Friend
A friend loveth at all times…. Proverbs 17:17
True friendship is not convenient. As shown above, it not when it is convenient or to our gain but always. Likewise, the verb is an action verb – how do you show your friends that you love them? Sometimes it is the smallest act that is appreciated the most – taking time just to listen or sending them a random note. Solomon gives us the key to being a true friend in Proverbs 18:24.
Jesus wants to be our friend as well. He describes his desire and the expectations of us in John 15:13-15. Have you made the decision to call Him friend? Have you made the choice to follow his teachings?
Let us take time today to thank the Lord for the blessings of friends and strive to be a loving friend to others.
