What does the Bible say about friendship? In this Super Short Thought, recorded over coffee with an old friend in Mostar, we look at Proverbs 17:17: "A friend loves at all times, and a relative is born to help in adversity."
In an age when relationships can feel disposable, this verse reminds us that faithfulness matters. A true friend stays when it is inconvenient, when you disagree, and when life is hard. And that kind of faithfulness is rooted in the character of God Himself.
