Pro 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
At all times caught my eye as I read this verse. Friendships are funny in that a lot
of times there is no rhyme or reason to them. You just click with someone or you
don’t. However when you become a believer in Christ that changes. Your shared
love for Christ brings people together that have absolutely nothing in common,
but Him. And it’s great! You have friends that are there for you in every situation.
I’m reminded of the friendship of Naomi and Ruth and the special friendship that
they had. Rth 1:16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return
from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou
lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: These
two ladies had went through a lot in their time together, they had good times I’m
sure and then the bad times where they suffered the loss of both of their
husbands, famine, and I’m sure loneliness. Yet their friendship remained strong.
What a blessing it is to have that kind of friendship.
