Proverbs 17:17 – A True Friend

by northwestjim, posted in Thought For The Day

Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.

I not only want that kind of folks in my life…
I want to BE that kind of folks in other’s lives.

But there’s something even more:
…there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother (Pro 18:24).

I take that to be Jesus… and HE is the foundation of BOTH ends of relationship.

We were created for relationships.
Without them we are not whole.

Without Christ, we can neither BE nor receive the kind of friends we long for.

Leaning into Him so that I can lean into others.
