love and adversity

"A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity"

Proverbs 17:17


This is the verse i read this morning and it didnt really seem like that morning would be anything more then a regular morning. But that verse stuck out when i was reading the chapter and now it's seeming much more applicable now. I look back at all the times i've neglected my friends and family and how often i have the opportunity to reach out to them, but i dont. I've never been really an emotional, touchy-feely type guy but thats not a viable excuse for leaving a brother or sister hanging. I know its so tough trying to go thru this walk even with the support of a church and friends and i cant imagine what it would be like doing it on your own. A friend is to love at all times, not just when its convienant or it seems at hte right moment. Love bears all thigsn , believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
