“A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (17).

Let that be I!

Sure, I want a friend who loves me at all times.

Sure, I want a brother who stands by me in adversity.

But I also want to be that friend and brother to another.

Even when my friend fails (or merely grates on me), I want to love him.

Even when my friend is terribly down and unpleasant to be around, I want to be faithfully at his side.

from Proverbs 17:14
