A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (Proverbs 17:17 NIV)
What is your definition of true friendship?
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Happy is the house that shelters a friend,” and, “A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere and before him I may think aloud. . . . The only way to have a friend is to be one.”
Walter Winchell defines a friend as “one who walks in when others walk out.”
Someone else has said that a friend is “a man who laughs at your funny stories, even when they ain’t so good, and sympathizes with your misfortunes, even when they ain’t so bad.”
Do you have a friend? Do you know true friendship?
Many, I’m sad to say, would have to answer no. The good news is this: you can have a best friend forever. That friend is Jesus Christ. I encourage you to get to know Him. You’ll never be disappointed. He’ll always be there with you.
