Love the friend!
Today we reflect on this verse and see the meaning of a true friendship, human relationships in times of difficulty.
In these verses we can see the true meaning of that friend, the true friend who loves at all times. He does not only love when everything is going well but also does so in times of difficulty, this is the meaning of an authentic friendship that does not depend on circumstances but always remains firm.
Imagine that here the word of God compares the friend with a brother, and says that he is much more than my brother. Here we see the importance of connecting and establishing strong relationships with people who give us the spiritual and emotional support that we need. A true friend is a refuge in the midst of difficulty.
Let us remember that we are social beings and we are destined to live in contact with other human beings, it is not healthy nor can we live in solitude, God has created us to relate and support each other mutually especially in the most difficult times.
A friend loves at all times,
And is like a brother in times of trouble.
Proverbs 17:17
