Love & Serving Others

Proverbs 17:17 (WEB)

A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.

Reflection

Fair-weather friends are everywhere; faithful friends are rare. The kind of friendship this verse describes doesn't bail when things get messy. Being an unhidden friend means committing to people through their worst chapters, not just their highlight reels.

Prayer

God, make me the kind of friend this verse describes: reliable, present, and loyal through every season. Help me show up for the people in my life when it's hard, not just when it's convenient.
