"A true friend is always loyal,

and a brother is born to help in time of need."

~ Proverbs 17:17 LAB

Bible Commentary: "What king of friend are you? There is a vast difference between knowing someone well and being a true friend. The greatest evidence of genuine friendship is loyalty---being available to help in times of distress or personal struggles. Too many people are fair-weather friends. They stick around when the friendship helps them, and leave when they're not getting anything out of the relationship. Think of your friends and assess your loyalty to them. Be kind of true friend the Bible encourages."
